Breaking the Animal Communication Barrier Using AI
Ever wondered if animals could talk. We’ve all heard birds chirp away at each other and wondered just what are they are talking about. Or heard a dog bark or a cat meow and thought ‘Are they saying something’? Well it turns out they are! But you just didn’t understand.
4ZZZ reporter Anita Diamond spoke with Professor Karen Bakker of the University of British Columbia and a fellow at the Harvard Radcliffe Institute of Advanced Study on how scientists are using A.I to talk to animals.
For a deep dive…
Here is Professor Karen Bakker's personal website where you can go to find out more about her research and books on digital innovation and environmental governance.
