What if AI could help us talk to animals? Through projects like the Earth Species Project, researchers are using machine learning, embeddings, and audio foundation models to decode animal communication. Led by Aza Raskin, a former product leader at Mozilla Labs and co-founder of Songza, this work suggests animals may have language, dialects, and culture. If that is true, it forces a rethink of intelligence, consciousness, and humanity’s place in the natural world. #MoonshotMondays #AI #AnimalCom
