Artificial intelligence can be described as a simulation of human intelligence in machines, enabling them to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence. AI systems use algorithms and computing power to mimic human cognitive functions. In recent years, the application of AI in the context of animal welfare has emerged as a promising avenue to address critical challenges in animal care, protection, and conservation. The utilization of these innovatory creations is not limited to human requirements only. Animal welfare refers to the well-being and quality of life of animals, both domestic and wild. It encompasses the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of an animal's life and addresses their comfort, health, and ethical treatment. An animal can be identified to have been residing in a good state of welfare if it is healthy and has freedom from unnecessary suffering. The sole objective of inserting the idea of artificial intelligence into animal welfare is to protect and develop a healthy and uplifted residing condition of the animals. This paper analyzes how the animal kingdom can benefit from AI technologies in relation to the existing legal provisions under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, of 1960.
