How scientists are using artificial intelligence to “talk” to animals

According to a the report*, scientists are using advanced sensors and technology artificial intelligence to observe and decode a wide range of species, including plants, already share information with their own communication methods. 

ChatGPT, Dall, Midjourney: What is Artificial Intelligence? | Newsverso Glossary

You may have already read or heard about a tool called ChatGPT. We have already explained to you here at Newsverso that it is artificial intelligence (AI). But do you know what artificial intelligence is? The Glossary explains this concept that can be suitable for many sectors within the internet.

This field of “digital bioacoustics” is the theme of the new book by Karen Baker – teacher at University of British Columbia and member of Harvard Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study - called 'The sounds of life: how digital technology is bringing us closer to the worlds of animals and plants'.

Trays explains that automated listening posts have been installed in ecosystems around the world, from rainforests to the depths of the ocean, and function like a hearing aid on a planetary scale: “allowing humans to observe and study the sounds of nature beyond the limits of our sensory capabilities".

All these devices create a ton of data, which would be impossible to go through manually. Therefore, researchers in the areas of bioacoustics (which studies the sounds produced by living organisms) and ecoacoustics (which studies the sounds produced by entire ecosystems) are turning to artificial intelligence to sift through piles of recordings, finding patterns that can help us understand what animals are saying to each other.

Too much, right? 😍
