AI technology is enhancing the chances of reuniting lost pets with their owners.
First, there were collars, then there were microchips. Now, we're using doorbell cameras to track down lost dogs. Ring, Amazon's smart doorbell security system, launched Search Party, an AI system that helps locate lost dogs, last fall. In its first three months, the feature has brought home 99 lost dogs in just 90 days, according to Amazon CEO Andy Jassy. "Good example of real-world impact, and proud of what the Ring team has built here," Jassy wrote.
Barbara Dillon has thanked the power of social media which caused a woman in Meath to recognise the stray dog and alert gardaí. 'Rusty' the five year old collie was in the back of the Toyota Landcruiser when it was taken from a car park at Kingscourt, Co Cavan, on Thursday afternoon. Her husband Theo parked his jeep and trailer to go to Kingscourt Mart at midday and when he returned, the jeep and Rusty were gone.
