Scientists using AI to communicate with animals

Scientists are using advanced sensors and AI technology to observe and decode animal communication methods. They study how different species share and exchange information, and then translate that information into human language. For example, bats use vocalizations that can distinguish between genders and have individual signature calls. Portable digital recorders and small microphones are used to collect data, which is then analyzed using AI programs to detect patterns and understand animal communication.
