  • In an astonishing 20-minute exchange between researchers and a humpback whale named Twain, science has crossed an unprecedented threshold. Taking place off the coast of Alaska, this interaction, made possible by advanced artificial intelligence (AI),

The article from MSN discusses a pioneering experiment where researchers from the University of California, Davis, and the Alaska Whale Foundation used artificial intelligence to facilitate a 20-minute conversation between humans and a humpback whale named Twain. This interaction took place in Alaska's Frederick Sound, where scientists played a recorded humpback whale "contact call" through underwater speakers. The AI system, which was trained to recognize and respond to whale vocalizations, allowed for a real-time exchange, marking the first instance of such prolonged and interactive communication with a whale. The experiment not only showcased the potential of AI in interspecies communication but also aimed to deepen our understanding of whale behavior and intelligence, potentially aiding in conservation efforts by fostering a better human-whale relationship.
