Summary
This podcast features an interview with Shane Gero from Project CETI, discussing the Project CETI employs AI and autonomous submarines to record and analyze sperm whale vocalizations, focusing on distinct "codas" that convey cultural information related to clan identity and behaviour. This project uses machine learning models to process vast audio datasets, revealing complex communication patterns that vary with context and enhancing our understanding of whale social structures.
