Dogs rely much more on smell. Anecdotally my dog doesn’t really react to screens, reacts a bit to audio (e.g. hearing my voice in a FaceTime call can make his ears perk up), and occasionally unexpectedly reacts to unusual smells. For example when I walked him near a garbage truck he started backing at it kind of like how he barks at other dogs.

So unless the AI smells like a dog it probably won’t.
