Artificial intelligence could help scientists get closer to understanding how animals communicate, as researchers increasingly use machine learning to analyse sounds made by species ranging from birds and elephants to whales and dolphins. One organisation working at the forefront of this research is the Earth Species Project, a US-based non-profit group developing AI models to analyse animal vocalisations and identify patterns that could help explain how different species communicate. The organisation is using AI to decode animal communication, with the longer-term goal of understanding what animals are trying to tell one another. It has developed NatureLM-audio, an AI model designed…
