Seven.One Studios International Takes on AI-Led Pig Doc

Seven.One Studios International has acquired If Pigs Could Talk, a documentary that uses advanced AI technology.

The one-off special follows a group of world-leading scientists on a unique experiment to decipher the language of pigs. Using advanced AI technology, they are able to translate pigs’ grunts, squeals and snorts into human language for the first time.

Together, they collect over 7,000 audio recordings of pig speak from organic, free-range and mass-production farms. The AI enables them to reveal the hidden emotions and ethics of pig farming.

Tim Gerhartz, managing director of Seven.One Studios International, said: “If Pigs Could Talk is a truly fascinating and unique documentary. Not only does it enable us to understand the language of these animals for the first time, but it has the potential to change the way we think about animal farming on a broader scale. It also effectively showcases the power of AI technology. We are sure this is a show that will interest and engage broadcasters and viewers around the world.”

If Pigs Could Talk is produced by Snowman Productions for ARD/NDR (Germany), DR (Denmark), RTS (Switzerland), NRK (Norway) and SVT (Sweden). The director is Miki Mistrati (The Chocolate War).
