COMPETITIVE · MARKET STRUCTURE AI is helping to decode animals’ speech. Will it also let us talk with them? Change AI is advancing the understanding of animal communication, revealing complex vocalizations in species like bonobos and whales that challenge human language uniqueness. Why it matters Recent studies highlight the sophistication of animal communication, particularly in bonobos and whales, using AI to decode their vocalizations. Researchers found that bonobos combine calls to create complex phrases, while AI tools help interpret these sounds. This research raises questions about the nature of language and whether animals can communicate in ways similar to humans.
