Colorado State University researchers recentlypublished a paperon an artificial intelligence (AI) system to train dogs.
The researchers used AI to train the software on thousands of canine images.
The hope is that computers could one day be used for an automated dog training system.

The researchers tested their models on Henry, Caveys Australian Shepherd, according to anews release.
The researchers wrote a program to help quickly label the images.
But why use AI for dog training at all?
“AI would be helpful to alert a parent if/when a dog is doing a problematic behavior.”
“Tools from AI are almost ready to generate content that can be directly incorporated into training programs.
For example, we may be able to auto-generate explanations for technical topics or multiple-choice questions for assessments.”
One of the ways that AI excels is in the ability to perform repetitive tasks uninterruptedly.
Suit said AI could be particularly useful in training employees, too.
Digital learning platforms are increasingly popular in China, where students use them to boost their academic performance.
