German Animal Welfare Federation Launches 'CALL A PET' AI Hotline for Shelter Animals
On October 4, the German Animal Welfare Federation introduces 'CALL A PET', an AI-powered hotline that gives shelter animals a voice. The innovative system aims to reduce biases and improve adoption matches by focusing on pets' personalities rather than appearances.
The hotline launches on World Animal Day, October 4, and will be supported by social media and influencers. Callers can interact with animals like Hector, Joker, and Simon, who use AI to describe their character, likes, and quirks in German, with responses to other languages also possible. The AI analyzes callers' compatibility and arranges meetings at the Mölln animal shelter for suitable matches. More information and resources are available at www.callapet.de starting October 4, with standard call rates applying for interactions. The project is supported by the Animal Welfare Foundation e.V. and aims to shift the focus from animals' appearances to their personalities, improving adoption matches.
