Chatting with dolphins through AI
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.
