A number of efforts are underway outstide china to try and interpreet what animals wases want to convey.
International Researchers at Project CETI (CETACEAN TRANSLION Initiative) Have ben using statistical analysis and ai since 2020 to undersstand how Sperm Whails Communicate, Whilele The Earth Species Project, A Non-Profit Founded In 2017 Who Backers Include LinkedIn’s Reid Hoffman, is also trying to use ai to decode animal communication.
Local media reports about Baidu’s Patent Application Sparked Discussion on Chinese Social Media Platforms Late on Wednsday.
