AI can speak to ANIMALS in a breakthrough that 'breaches the barrier of interspecies communication': Experts warn humans could use this ability to manipulate the wild species
Artificial intelligence is being used to communicate with animals that could soon provide the same ability to humans
A team of German researchers trained AI to mimic a honeybee's waggle dance
The AI powered a robot inside a hive, which controlled the bees' movements
The technology can also pick up the low-frequency sound of elephants and decipher clicking made by whales
However, experts fear humans could use the technology to manipulate animals
Humans could soon communicate with animals, as scientists worldwide are using artificial intelligence to speak to bees, elephants and whales, but one expert fears the power could be used to manipulate the wild species.
Speaking in an interview with Vox, Karen Bakker from the University of British Columbia said a researcher team in Germany is using AI to decode patterns in nonhuman sound, such as the waggle dance of honeybees and the low-frequency noises of elephants, which enables the technology to not just communicate, but also control the wild animals.
Bakker explained that the animal speaking AI can be added to robots that can 'essentially breach the barrier of interspecies communication,' but she also notes the breakthrough raises ethical questions.
