AI is being used to decode animal language.
Recent AI breakthroughs are attempting to bring us closer to understanding the secrets of sperm whale clicks, possibly revealing hidden depths of information.
Project CETI is decoding the language of federally endangered sperm whales.
Researchers attach digital recorders to the backs of whales or turtles to detect sounds beyond human hearing. It combines computer vision with natural language processing to pick up animal patterns without disrupting the ecosystem.
Another project, called the Earth Species Project, is working on cataloging the calls of Hawaiian crows.
