Artificial intelligence (AI) technology is being used across various fields, and now AI robots are being developed to replace real pets.
Yes, an AI dog robot has been created that can potentially replace humans’ most loyal animal companions. At least in China, this is being done to help young people combat loneliness.
An AI dog named “BooBoo” has been developed to help young people manage social anxiety. These robotic animals use AI technology to interact with users.
The company responsible for this innovation, Huangzhou Jinmore Technology, has priced a BooBoo at $190, and nearly 1,000 robots have been sold so far.
However, it is still unclear whether these AI robots can truly replace real pets.
