AI used to decipher dolphin language by Wild Dolphin Project

Researchers are leveraging AI, specifically large language models, to decipher the communication patterns of dolphins. Denise Herzing of the Wild Dolphin Project, in collaboration with Georgia Tech and Google DeepMind, is analyzing extensive audio and video data to identify structures within dolphin language. The project has also experimented with two-way communication by using an underwater computer to play dolphin sounds associated with objects and environments, observing dolphin responses to these cues.

IMPACT AI is being applied to understand non-human communication, potentially opening new avenues for interspecies understanding.
