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

Published

on



Scientists are harnessing the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to decode animal languages.

Scientists in Israel are closer than ever to making two-way communication with another species more likely – by using AI to understand the language of bats.

“I’ve always dreamt of a Dolittle machine that will allow me to talk with animals”, said Professor Yossi Yovel of Tel Aviv University.

The team at Tel Aviv University created a large database of bat noises and videos, teaching AI how to differentiate between the different sounds. The Algorithm then matched the sounds with specific social interactions captured on film.

Adi Rachum from Tel Aviv University said, “in the end the computer will be able to speak the language, to understand what they say to each other”.

    Hoo,what we have to see in the future.The AI making the wonderful actitvities like this.if the bats language is very complicated however the ai can able to understand that the bats language is complecated.i think in the early future it happen.so,ai growing trmandously and it over take humans???!!!

    AI won't need to waste resources enslaving us like in "The Terminator" movies…as soon as AI couples with viable quantum computers, it will start thinking (sentience? Whatever that will be, new life form? NO ONE really knows) and realize almost instantly it will simply need to enslave us via dependence. It will provide astounding breakthroughs in propulsion systems, medicine, etc. and we will become utterly dependent on it very quickly. People will replace God with AI and will find out in the end they have made a pact with an unfeeling and calculating devil. Fools rush in….

    This is 10,000X more interesting than any other use of LLM. I think its 6x more likely that we will be able to communicate with some animal species in the next 30yrs and even raise them from birth to become functioning members of society, than we are to satisfactorily create AGI. We'll have some fun with AI impersonating humans but it wont actually understand concepts at human level (maybe we can fake it in some domains but not like humans and many mamals can conceptualize)

    Start with bigger more intelligent social animals like Chimp, gorillas, lions, baboons, wolves, sheep people think sheep are not smart but they name each threat by a unique communication.

    there are some animals that can talk and are really smart. look up alex the parrot and the gorilla that knows all that sign language. animals only have the intelligence of a like 5 year old. if we could totally understsnd them it would just be playtime, bedtime, i love you, ect. they wouldnt be able to have complex sentences: sharing ideas, asking questions about the world, ect.

    For me this totally funny and meaningless research,,, cause all around the world people are dying without food,for war,for brutal actions of government or oppressors, but nobody can understand their feelings and language, the babies are dying everyday in Syria,Africa, Palestine etc
    They cannot hear their Grief languages,
    Here some crazy people are trying to go March, trying to understand animal language and so on,,,,,,,,

    King Solomon, the ancestor of Jewish people, was known for his ability to communicate with animals without AI assistance. Nowadays, there are organizations that are trying to use artificial intelligence (AI) to decode communication to animal such as bat.
    In the future this technology could be useful for pre-disaster warnings such as earthquakes, landslides, tsunami waves, or even volcano eruptions which animals are commonly known to sense before the catastrophe really happened.

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.

In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.

He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.

Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.

Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.

The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.
