We share a life and a home. We are two best friends, so much so that we could understand each other by looking into each other’s eyes. The only thing we needed was to be able to talk. But now, the good news has come. Soon, we will communicate by speaking. This breakthrough will bridge the communication gap and deepen our connection, allowing us to understand each other on a whole new level. So we can use your language.

Communicating and developing empathy are essential for understanding other living things. The best way to communicate is to speak the same language. Okay, communication is more than just verbal and written. Body language and behaviour are also important. For example, I am worried or afraid if I cover my tail and turn my ears back. But we animals do not have some speech abilities like you humans. That’s why you need to monitor us and try to empathise constantly.

But now the troubles are over. Scientists have undertaken another critical project. You will be able to talk to animals. Thus, we can effortlessly explain our problems to you, and you will understand them.

The good news came from the Earth Species Project (ESP). ESP announced that it is on its agenda to understand the sounds and behaviours of animals by using the artificial intelligence technology it developed. He declared that ESP artificial intelligence models aim to transform these vocalisations into a more familiar form, working like ChatGPT or DALL-E, which process human input.

“We are in the middle of a computing revolution. This is not just a matter of gathering information and protecting animals. This is a step to making an emotional connection,’ said Gabriel A. Miller, director of technology at the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation. ESP curated datasets and metrics and announced that it would electrify the conservation community with artificial intelligence tools. In other words, ESP has begun to work on adapting machine learning, which is used to decipher human language and communicate with us animals.

The Earth Species Project (ESP), a collaborative organisation based in Berkeley, California, USA, is at the forefront of this groundbreaking mission. Working hand in hand with international scientists and institutions, we’re making the impossible possible. This global effort is not just about enabling communication with animals using AI technology- it’s about redefining our relationship with the natural world. We invite you to join us in this inspiring journey.

Scientists have been collecting animal sounds and calls for years. The artificial intelligence models developed by ESP aim to analyse these sounds and calls and transform them into a form that people can understand.

These studies are about more than just understanding animals. They are about taking crucial measures against the biodiversity crisis accelerated by climate change. By understanding animals, we can better understand their needs and protect their habitats. This is our chance to make a real difference in nature conservation.
