During Climate Change, AI Experts Describe Dog Transformation In The Future Through AI

JAKARTA - Animals such as dogs can also undergo a major transformation when they adapt to the severe impacts of climate change.

Experts at Love Your Dog are asking artificial intelligence (AI) to imagine how dogs will look in the future based on predictions of the evolution of dogs.

The result may come as a surprise to you, as dogs are expected to become more likeMACHes with large ears and even hairless legs.

"From a physical point of view, we can expect dogs that resemble Famous Chinese Dogs of small size, little or almost hairless (considered hypoallergenic), and a calm and friendly temperament," said Jessica D'avilia and Brenda Vitorino, of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul.

"Physical modifications and behavior will be chosen in stages and artificially. That is, dog cultivators will determine commercially attractive characteristics to 'improve' these types of dogs to meet human needs."

The AI platforms from Midjourney and Gencraft are used to describe the vision of the future of this human friend.

It is claimed that dogs will weigh between 8.8-22 pounds (4-10 kg) on average, with a large, pointed short-nose and ear.

This supports a previous study led by Deakin University in Australia that revealed that many hot-blooded animals will evolve with larger ears to relieve excess heat.

An increase in size like this has started to happen, but Sara Ryding, the study's author, claims that the current increase is "less than 10 percent".

"The increase in the size of the limbs we see today is quite small - less than 10 percent - so this change will not be seen immediately," Ryding said, quoted by Mail Online.

"However, striking limbs like ears are predicted to get bigger - so in the future that is not too far away, we will probably have a welcome version of real life," added Ryding.

With the increasing temperature, it may also be expected that the hair on the dog will become thinner.

However, D'avilia and Vitorino stated that some types of dogs may have thicker fur on their feet to protect the soles of the hot soil.

Meanwhile, lighter fur can help dogs reflect heat, while shorter and morexidal-like muzzles can help them maintain moisture.

"We must also remember that this modification to the nurseries in characteristic takes time (about eight generations) to'refit' these types of dogs," the researchers added.

"In addition, along with the trend of increasing working hours, dog owners are expected to choose animals that need little space and care," he added.

MailOnline has also contacted the British Veterinary Association to comment on these findings.

These changes are anticipated as a dog adaptation to the impact of significant climate change. Dogs are believed to experience gradual and artificial physical modifications and behavior, with dog cultivators choosing commercially attractive characteristics to meet human needs.
