A.I. and Deep Listening

The idol and the plants and animals

 Scientific American broke down the science behind interspecies communication:

Digital bioacoustics relies on very small, portable, lightweight digital recorders, which are like miniature microphones that scientists are installing everywhere from the Arctic to the Amazon. You can put these microphones on the backs of turtles or whales. You can put them deep in the ocean, [put them] on the highest mountaintop, attach them to birds. And they can record sound continuously, 24/7, in remote places where scientists cannot easily reach, even in the dark and without the disruption that comes from introducing human observers in an ecosystem.

That instrumentation creates a data deluge, and that is where artificial intelligence comes in—because the same natural language processing algorithms that we are using to such great effect in tools such as Google Translate can also be used to detect patterns in nonhuman communication.

Hmm. The cinematic elements might be ideal propaganda. And perhaps from a strange angle like a bar scene in Star Wars where plants and bees chit chat with the boss oak tree. No man. A.I. and Deep Hearing are all you need, not love.

Love is not needed for the ear at the keyhole.
