Google is using artificial intelligence to understand how dolphins communicate with the hope that humans could one day chat with them. They have built an AI model called DolphinGemma to analyze and categorize dolphin sounds gathered by the Wild Dolphin Project. The model aims to establish a shared vocabulary for interactive communication with dolphins.
