A group of researchers are looking to use machine learning to translate animal "languages" into something humans can understand and they want to apply it to the entire animal kingdom.
The Earth Species Project, founded in California with the help of Silicon Valley investors, plans to use machine learning to decode animal communication and make its findings available to everyone.
ESP co-founder and president Aza Raskin says that the group doesn't discriminate and is looking to help humans communicate with as many species as possible.
The ESP's translation technology is designed to work across all of the biology, from worms to whales, according to the ESP's CEO.
In the interview, Raskin likened the group's ambitions to "going to the Moon," especially given that, like humans, animals also have various forms of non- verbal communication.
The project has made at least some progress despite the seemingly insurmountable challenges it is facing.
A second algorithm is said to be able to mimic animal calls.
Even though we don't know what it means yet, the artificial intelligence is speaking the language.
There are exciting implications to this kind of research, particularly when it comes to convincing skeptics that animals are worth saving, but Raskin admits that it won't be the only answer to save them.
He said that the tools allow us to take off the human glasses and understand the whole communication system.
