Artificial Intelligence technology is steadily taking over the globe, affecting numerous industries and helping humans across different sectors.
But, this particular use of AI is sure to have everyone dropping their jaws at the extent of use this technology can achieve.
U.S. tech giant Google has recently achieved an unthinkable feat with AI technology with a new large language model (LLM). This LLM allows humans to converse with Dolphins. Yes, you read that right. Dolphins.
Known as DolphinGemma, the resarchers are currently testing to see if this LLM and its Cetacean Hearing Augmentation Telemetry (CHAT) system can mimic the vocal behavior of dolphins.
If successful, the breakthrough may represent the culmination of over four decades’ worth of work, documentation, and conservation efforts.
Dolphins are regarded as one of the smartest sea creatures known to mankind. Their complex social interactions have been, in fact, a subject of study for researchers at the Wild Dolphin Project (WDP) for four decades.
Throughout this process, researchers have accumulated a wealth of underwater audio and video documentation about a single community of Atlantic dolphins in the Bahamas.
The researchers have managed to correlate sounds with behavioral patterns such as courtships, unique names, and dolphin quarrels.
