Using AI to manage strays

STRAY dog management is usually reactive: People complain, authorities respond. This approach has limitations because action is taken only after a problem has occurred. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers the chance to turn stray animal management into a preventive, data-driven approach.

One of the most practical applications of AI is the enhancement of existing CCTV infrastructure. By integrating AI-based computer vision technology, these cameras can automatically detect animals, identify stray dogs, estimate the number of dogs in a group, and monitor movement patterns in real time.
