Google has developed an AI model named DolphinGemma that is capable of decoding and translating dolphin speech into English. This innovation, created in partnership with the Dolphin Project and Georgia Tech, uses large language models (LLMs) to interpret dolphin clicks and whistles, marking a breakthrough in marine research. The technology aims to provide definitive evidence of the intelligence of dolphins and other animals. This development is part of a broader trend in machine learning and robotics that is enabling the study of nonhuman animal communication. Researchers, including those at MIT, are also exploring AI applications to understand other marine species such as sperm whales. The advancements in AI and machine learning are opening new frontiers in linguistics, marine biology, and artificial intelligence, with potential implications for how humans understand and interact with animal species.
Soon with AI we will be communicating with dolphins and realistically simulating fruit flies… https://t.co/sCVp8Vy0dG
