30,000 young chickens are crowded together at a site in the northern German city of Visbek. When aliens or our distant progeny sift through layers of sediment 500,000 years from now to decode the Earth's past, they will find unusual evidence of the abrupt change that upended life half-a-million years earlier: chicken bones.

Now, scientists have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) program that automatically identifies these SOS calls, an advance that could help farmers save thousands of fledgling lives—and millions of dollars in farm labor. “The results…
