Scientists Are Beginning to Learn the Language of Bats and Bees Using AI

Scientists use AI and digital bioacoustics to decipher the unique language of bats and bees. They uncover fascinating insights about Egyptian fruit bats' communication, including signature calls and dialects. Researchers also analyze honeybee communication using AI and computer vision, identifying signals like tooting, quacking, whooping, and piping. The invention of digital bioacoustics is compared to the microscope, impacting the study of animal communication and challenging the human-nonhuman divide.
