AI just decoded crow speech, and what they’re actually saying about us is shaking researchers. Scientists used machine learning to analyze thousands of crow calls, revealing patterns far more complex than simple alarm signals.

Researchers using artificial intelligence to analyze thousands of hours of crow recordings have concluded that the birds use a complex system of calls to identify individual humans and share that information within their flocks. The finding suggests that people may have a reputation, positive or negative, within local crow communities.The research builds on earlier work by scientists at the Univer…
