Researchers at Emory University and Georgia Institute of Technology have developed an AI system called CapuchinAI that uses facial recognition and touchscreen testing to automate cognitive studies of wild capuchin monkeys. The system, which has been tested in the wild with 97% accuracy, identifies individual capuchins and presents them with learning tasks, providing a scalable and field-friendly method for studying primate cognition. The AI model is adaptable to other species of primates and can provide insights into how environmental influences shape individual differences in cognitive abilities. AI summary
