Claims that humans may soon be able to talk to animals with the help of artificial intelligence. In the beginning, you will be able to talk to animals like bees, elephants, whales, etc. But even this is causing concern among a group of researchers. They fear that wild animals will also be influenced by humans using tricks. The Daily Mail reports that it is trying to make conversation with animals possible by learning patterns in non-human voices.

∙ The research is taking place in Germany.

Karan Bakker, a researcher at the University By interpreting the meaning of the waggle dance of bees and the short-wavelength sounds of elephants, Karan says that he not only talks to wildlife, but also tries to control it.

∙ This capability also imparted to to bots

This capability can also be imparted to robots, says Karan, not only to break down barriers that prevent communication between species, but also to transfer new AI capabilities to robots. At the same time, all this raises many ethical questions. Being able to talk to different species may lead to deeper kinship with them. Or they may be dominated or manipulated at will in a way not possible today. Karan observes that none of this was possible earlier.

∙ The effort did not start recently

Human’s desire to talk to other animals and creatures is nothing new. This concept has been seen in many films, an example being 1967’s Doctor Doolittle. However, it is not an idea to film these days. Rather, researchers are investigating how it can be put into practice. There are many successful projects to understand animal language. One such experiment was conducted by the Dahlem Center of Machine Learning and Robotics in Germany in 2018.

∙ RoboBee

researchers built a RoboBee and trained it to dance with bees. According to the report, this robobee is able to communicate with bees. RoboBee, which resembles a bee, was created by incorporating materials including sponge into a rod-like mechanism. Then RoboBee was trained on the bees’ rocking dance. Reports say that the bees have ‘tuned in’ to RoboBee by picking up on even the smallest features in the dance. A few bees followed Robobee into the hive, or even stopped when Robobee was in the air.

∙ The robobees will now be sent to the hive

 In the next phase of this experiment, the researchers are planning to send the robobees to different beehives. They want to know if the bees will accept the robot bee as one of their own. If that happens, humans will be able to control what goes on inside the hives like never before. The man says that bees can be matched in a way that was never possible before.

∙ Elephants On the other hand

But they also emit short-wavelength sounds. These are not noticed by humans. However, AI can pick up on this short-wavelength sound. Bioacoustics researcher Katie Payne is studying these infrasonic sounds with the help of artificial intelligence. Katie said that when she heard the sound, she felt an unfamiliar thump in her chest, and it filled her with a strange uneasiness.

∙ Whales Researchers are trying to talk to whales in addition to bees

It is now trying to communicate with the brilliant species of sperm whales (a type of whale with large front teeth). Project SETI (Cetacean Translation Initiative) for this was launched in October 2021. Communication between spam waves using click sounds is also called codas. Research in this field is based on NLP (Natural Language Processing), a branch of AI.

∙ Learning 400 crore codas

For this Researchers try to link specific sounds to the context in which they are produced. They say it may take at least five years. Once successful in this, the intention is to create chatbots to communicate with spam whales at sea.

∙While communication has been done before

The idea of ​​communication with animals is not new, says the man. Humans have long interacted with animals, especially apes. However, this was done by methods known to humans. Mainly using sign language and the like. The uniqueness of the current research is that researchers want to communicate with animals and creatures by learning their language using AI.

∙ Apologizing to Twitter employees, the founder

the new Meanwhile, Jack Dorsey, one of the founders of Twitter, apologized to the employees. He said that he was responsible for bringing the workers to this situation. He said he took on more employees to grow the company faster. He said he apologized for this and thanked everyone who worked at Twitter.

∙ Fined for the woman who said she wanted Musk to be impleaded in her case

The woman who filed a case in the Delhi High Court, saying that the company boss should make Musk a third party in the case

where her This is an unnecessary application, the court imposed a fine of Rs 25,000 on the petitioner Dimple Kaul saying that the Twitter representative was present.

∙ Amazon stops hiring new employees

Technology giant Amazon has temporarily stopped hiring new employees, Reuters reports. This was announced by the company’s vice president, Beth Galati.
