Dolphins are recognized for their intelligence, exhibiting behaviors such as cooperation and self-recognition. The Wild Dolphin Project, studying Atlantic spotted dolphins since 1985, aims to decode their complex vocalizations. Using Google's AI technology, researchers analyze decades of audio and video recordings, correlating acoustic patterns with social interactions. The goal is to understand these patterns deeply, potentially revealing whether dolphin communication resembles language. The WDP has created an extensive dataset for this analysis, aiming ultimately to 'speak dolphin' if a linguistic structure is confirmed.
Denise Herzing from the Wild Dolphin Project emphasizes the need to understand dolphin vocalization structures, as it may help determine if dolphins possess a language.
The collaboration between Google and the Wild Dolphin Project aims to leverage AI technology to analyze dolphin communication patterns more effectively.
