The Potential of AI in Decoding Animal Communication
AI technology holds the potential to decode animal communication, enabling us to understand the language and vocalizations of various species. Researchers are using AI to study bat vocalizations and decipher the aggressive calls made by Egyptian fruit bats. By observing thousands of interactions and utilizing machine learning, scientists are gaining insights into the different calls made in various contexts such as food, sex, space, and sleep-related disputes. While AI can provide valuable information, it is unlikely to enable direct communication with animals or bridge the gap between human and animal worldviews.
