Summary

Project CETI uses AI to study sperm whale communication, particularly their codas, with hopes to decode and mimic whale sounds. The goal is to understand if these sounds function as a form of language. However, experts express concern over whether AI-generated sounds could confuse whales, disrupting natural behavior and leading to unintended consequences. There's also skepticism about whether codas hold the complexity AI hopes to decipher.
