Scientists just used AI to decode bat language for the first time, and the results are turning into a major scientific surprise. Researchers captured thousands of hours of complex bat sounds, then fed them into advanced machine learning systems to identify patterns.
Researchers at Tel Aviv University, led by Professor Yosi Yovel, have used artificial intelligence to analyze the vocalizations of Egyptian fruit bats and identify patterns in their calls. The study, conducted over 75 days in a cave in Israel housing more than 22,000 bats, recorded over 15,000 distinct vocalizations alongside video of the bats’ behavior.The research team adapted a voice recognitio…
