About this episode
In this episode, Gašper Beguš discusses decoding whale language and the role of AI and robotics in his research.
This and all episodes at: https://aiandyou.net/ . I am talking with Gašper Beguš, leading researcher in decoding the language of whales. He is Associate Professor of Linguistics at UC Berkeley and the Linguistics Lead at Project CETI, the Cetacean Translation Initiative, applying advanced machine learning and state-of-the-art robotics working in the eastern Caribbean. In his Berkeley Biological and Artificial Language lab, he also builds the most realistic models of human language learning. He’s been featured everywhere from the BBC and the Guardian to Time, The Atlantic, and National Geographic. In the conclusion of our interview, Gašper is going to introduce us to his whale family, talk about how we know whether translations are correct, what’s going on in the neural nets that decode whale language and the role that generative AI has played, the robots that they use, and whale emotions. All this plus our usual look at today's AI headlines! Transcript and URLs referenced at HumanCusp Blog.
