Scientists Are Using AI to Try to Talk with Whales Twitter 0 comments A team of researchers at Project CETI (the Cetacean Translation Initiative) are launching what they say will be the largest “interspecies communication” project ever. The target species? Sperm whales—marine mammals famous for their giant brains and language consisting of clicking sounds. And while the endeavor will be difficult, the researchers will have AI, drones, and even robotic fish on their side. National Geographic recently reported on the team’s most recent progress updates. Project lead, David Gruber, a marine biologist and National Geographic Explorer, spoke with National Geographic, outlining the project. One which he says is ultimately aimed at helping people reconnect with sea life and the natural world in general.
