Using AI to talk to animals
Briefly

"We are facing a biodiversity crisis," Earth Species Project CEO Katie Zacarian said during a demo of NatureLM at the recent Axios AI+ Summit in San Francisco. "The situation we are in today is driven from a disconnection with the rest of nature. We believe that AI is leading us to this inevitability that we will decode animal communication and come back into connection."
NatureLM has shown potential in identifying the dialogue of species the system has never encountered before. This pioneering work blends human language with environmental sounds, enhancing our understanding of animal communication.
Researchers know, for example, that birds make different sounds when they are singing songs as compared to sounding a warning call. They have determined that many species have individual names for one another and some, like prairie dogs, have a system of nouns and adjectives to describe predators.
