Scientists and specialists at Google have created an innovative system that uses artificial intelligence solutions and the well-known functions of Google Translator. The system is designed to facilitate conversations with animals.

This initiative focuses on dolphins, which are regarded as some of the most intelligent mammals in the world. These animals produce characteristic sounds that resemble speech, including whistles and distinctive clicks.

The system invented by Google is designed to precisely analyze all dolphin sounds, recognize patterns, and convert them into speech that can later be translated. Journalists from the British "Metro" report that the tool functions using artificial intelligence, similar to ChatGPT.

The project has been named DolphinGemma and premiered yesterday (April 14, 2023). According to scientists, the dolphin language can already be defined to some extent. For example, the characteristic whistles are used when a mother calls her young.

Researchers believe that dolphins can not only communicate with each other but also have their names. The first phase of research involves analyzing hundreds of thousands of hours of dolphin audio recordings. Next, the scientists plan to "translate" the dolphin language in real-time using Google Pixel phones.

Experts emphasize that the mission's ultimate goal is not only the rapid translation of the dolphin language but also to communicate with them effectively.
