Capuchin monkeys learn to kiss an AI touchscreen for banana rewards in a groundbreaking Costa Rica experiment as new technology takes animal cognition research into the wild

Wild capuchin monkeys in Costa Rica have learned to use an AI-powered touchscreen to earn banana rewards, with some even kissing the screen. The new CapuchinAI system could help scientists study learning, memory, impulse control and cognitive flexibility in wild primates without taking them out of their natural environment. This is seen as a grounbreaking experiment in the field of technology.
