He is Associate Professor of Linguistics at UC Berkeley and the Linguistics Lead at Project CETI , the Cetacean Translation Initiative, applying advanced machine learning and state-of-the-art robotics working in the eastern Caribbean. In his Berkeley Biological…
This and all episodes at: https://aiandyou.net/ . We're going underwater, to talk with whales. There have been some amazing breakthroughs recently in understanding the language of sperm whales, and AI plays a fascinating part in that. And even if you have no immediate intentions to go say hi to a whale, AI's part in this story has ramifications far outside the field of cetacean communication.…
