How artificial intelligence is helping scientists talk to animals - BBC News 

There’s one on dolphins. You might have to search for dolphins language. It’s pretty old and the thumbnail is a lecture room. It changed my perceptive on how I view animals as more like humans. Good luck lol

Believe it or not, most RU-vid users would prefer to watch a four minute video.

Why, this didn't tell us anything We didn't know, I dont know why He is so shocked to know that bats have a name or call for every individual the same as birds. Explain how that is a revelation, how else did they think bats know whose there mate and offspring?

@@HOLLASOUNDS majority of people don’t know this. Otherwise we would care more for these “creatures” or better yet sentient life.

@@KC-cb7ov True but I eat meat so have to be realistic, raised a meat eater and I would hunt an animal to eat it.

True

That’s not a tall ask, that’s a titanic ask. Western nations understand humans more than they understand anything else yet still destroy other nations for resources and energy.

I think that's the biggest discovery if true. It shows that they've got an understanding of what an "individual" is.

Are you sure about that?

I dont need one because its not hard to guess what he wants. Its food most of the time.

​@@panzrok8701indeed

what if it secretly hates you and has been telling you this whole time

Ok Here it is 1 I want food, 2 Clean My litter tray, 3 pet Me please, 4 leave Me alone, 5 let's play, 6 welcome home, 7 I dont like that.

You are exactly right. You would need an AI that combines all data about everything we know about the world and our universe so far to allow the AI to make complete, precise translations. It would also have to "smell" the bats, see the body temps and more for fully precise data. This is a very simplistic ai model and is still limited by humans.

Not really. The magic happens when the AI figures out patterns that link labelled data in ways that those doing the labelling couldn’t have predicted. The AI can then “generate” novel translations- it’s the core of the reason why deep learning is getting so much hype today: the fact that after being trained on human labelled data, it derives insights the humans couldn’t see.

To extend this work, they need an unsupervised learning approach that will be able to separate all the different modes of interaction. Once that’s done, they can perform clustering and associate the known patterns with their observed behaviour. This will probably leave a few clusters that are unknown to us humans. But they could use generative AI to play this back on a speaker and observe how the bats responds. From this, we should be able to correlate the stimulus-response and label the remaining classes by hand. This is how I would approach this work today, given the current state of the art for AI.

And what about their famous hallucinations.

@@clockpenaltythat is assuming that the labels were correct to begin with.

A quote from “Planet Of The Apes” comes to mind... “Stupid humans” First thing I teach my 🐈 cats actually😺

How do you figure?

@@christiroseify takea wild guess

animals dont have the rational brain parts to "think" anything, its automated modulation

@@richardjohnson5529 There's no guessing involved, you just answered the question. Have a nice day...

yup! here's a video in regards to whales ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hph9OeKjg3w.html I wouldn't be surprised if someone is working with elephants as well. It's super interesting to think about what might be possible one day soon.

That would be awesome .

I agree that this type of research is not only great but almost necessary to our cohabitation with other species as we move forward. Research always shows that "[any animal species] is more intelligent that we initially thought", no surprise, not much more than about a century ago people were still describing other humans as beasts, and now huge industries depends on animal exploitation. The more we understand animal intelligence, for sure zoos could try to profit from it, but I'm hoping animal captivity, other than rescue, will be less commonly accepted

@@martramT Yes I agree both of your comments are so well put

Pity they can't talk to their own human neibourghours. Another tricknological nonsense to harm other human beings. If the BBC was ever consistence it would science reports in Africa and central and south America.

actual batman

These models are easier to build than you think. I have made one that recognises some hand signals and basic sign language and am hoping to make it type for me without keyboard. You don't necessarily have to be a computer genius to build them

It's literally nothing

Yes... Bats all like to do gibberish speaking to themselves. But if they need our help they certainly would want to talk to us. We need to talk to them also. To ask can they move to another location because they smell. They have no idea how they annoy us with their smell and their noise because we cannot tell them. All they know is when people bang pots and pans and make huge noise in their backyards to scare them away. But they do not know what they have done wrong! So yes, we need to talk to them. In the beginning of creation Adam named animals and they were his friends. He talked to them. After he sinned, disobeyed God, the animals became wild and enemy. Same with the plants. Thorns and thistles and weeds arrived. Prior to that only perfect flowers and trees. If man had not sinned then we would have not had this animal communication breakdown. So scientists are trying to restore the breach back to normal. One day God will fix this problem and return this earth to perfection.

You seem to have no idea how an AI is created. It always starts with giving samples so the AI ​​can learn until it can do more and more complex tasks. It starts with the AI ​​recognizing that they are talking about food to exactly what information they are conveying. The humans teach the Ai in the beginning until it eventually learns itself and overtakes the humans.

@@Dradeus overtakes,,,

@@Dradeusbut how will AI learn if we are not even sure what the animals are actually telling each other? If we teach AI wrong it’s going to produce dangerous results at some point.

​@@thetruthsayer8347 You observe the animals, their behavior and the sound they make. Then you do that a few thousand times and feed that to the AI. Even if there are wrong examples, the AI ​​learns by comparing which ones are wrong. With AI it is always important to have a large database. Then the AI ​​has understood the basic behavior of the animals and you can study more complex behavior with the help of the AI.

@@Dradeus exactly

🤣🤣🤣

Tell me about it. lol

You racist sob 😭

Because we are stupid, which is why we destroy everything

I can and always have been able to understand and communicate with Animals from anything to Hamster, Dogs, Cats, Horses, and many others.

@@eddieash1669 Speak for your self.

@@eddieash1669 “We”? Who’s we? No, you mean YOU are stupid. It is bloody obvious to anyone with an IQ above 110 that humans are the smartest animal on this planet.

​@@HOLLASOUNDSI'm glad that you have these close relationships with animals. I too feel very close to animals, talk to them all the time. I also talk to insects. I love ants, bees, grasshoppers, moths and butterflies , etc. When I feel lonesome it really comforts me to feel that kinship with even the smallest creatures. Then I remember that I'm never alone. 🙂

I think it is improving to the point of seeing slight variations of accent, which eventually will lead to context.

It's not AGI, but in every sense of the term it is absolutely narrow AI. I don't know what else you want neural networks to do to be classified as AI. It's artifical, it does very narrow tasks, and it does so through very narrow intelligence.
