AI’s Next Trick? Speaking Dolphin
Denise Herzing, founder of the Wild Dolphin Project, has used AI to analyze dolphin clicks and whistles after a 40‑year research effort that began in 1985 in the Bahamas.
Key points
- denise herzing’s wild dolphin project uses ai to analyze dolphin clicks and whistles.
- the team collaborates with georgia tech and google deepmind to structure dolphin language.
- researchers tried two‑way communication by playing dolphin sounds with a wearable computer.
Her team now works with Georgia Tech and Google DeepMind to give structure to dolphin language. They have amassed hours of video and audio footage and are testing two‑way communication by playing dolphin sounds with a wearable computer that signals items such as a scarf or habitats like sargassum.
Challenges remain, especially in separating mimicry from true communication. The project may help understand dolphin culture and human impact on oceans, but a full conversation is still far off.
