Dolphins are one of Animals most studied in the world. Now, his cognitive capacities have also drawn the attention of Google, who put AI at the service of science to study how they communicate.
Dolphingemma He was born like a Large language model developed by Google And its goal is to function as a kind of “dolphin – human” translator.
10 Google applications that could have triumphed
Dolphingemma brings us closer to communication with dolphins
For 40 years, Wild Dolphin Project (WDP) He studied the communication of dolphins, observed their behavior and record their sounds to try to understand their meaning.
For the moment, among the results of this research, it has been discovered that the whistles use them to meet mothers with their young people, that the graznidos occur during the confrontations between the dolphins or that the buzzing which can be used during the nuptial parade.
Google wants to go further and with the development of DolphingemmaMma puts on the table a possibility that seems to be drawn from a film by Eddie Murphy: what if we all become Dr. Dolittle and we could communicate with the Dolphins?
Using the data available for WDP, Dolphingemmamma uses Google Audio Technologies (Le Tokenizer Soundstream) as a basis as a basis for the natural dolphin sounds.
This model can identify the models, structure the information and predict what the following vocalizations will be, thus forming a language hitherto unknown to humans.
Beyond understanding what they say, the objective is also the power Create synthetic sounds so that a bidirectional interaction between dolphins and humans is possible.
At this stage, the system comes into play Hearing hearing telemetry of cetaceans (Cat), a kind of underwater computer designed to make this shared communication more accessible.
Thanks to the predictions and anticipations of the dolphingmmma, the cat can offer a faster response to improve this interaction.
These operations are carried out from a Google Pixel 6
To date, These operations work from Google Pixel 6 phonesBecause they are able to carry out an acoustic analysis with high fidelity in real time.
The use of smartphones is much more practical than that of specialized equipment, because the energy consumption, the maintenance and size required are lower.
For next summer, it is planned that The new generation of this project is starting to operate on Google Pixel 9. This decision is motivated by the new incorporation of elevations and microphones optimized for this purpose, in addition to having a greater treatment capacity, which will make it possible to execute algorithms and learning models simultaneously and with greater capacities.
At the beginning, Dolphingemma was born so that we can understand the dolphins, but in the future, the progress of this AI could break the barriers of communication with other species.
