[江西南昌二中2024高一期中] In order to help change our influence on the environment of the earth, a California-based organisation is searching to build an AI language. It can allow people to deeply understand non-human languages.
Aza Raskin is the co-founder and president of the Earth Species Project (ESP), an organisation that uses a form of AI to translate non-human languages. ESP wants to use its machine learning technology to understand this important information and make it easily known to the public.
Raskin stressed their purpose to help protection by explaining, “The end we are working towards is, we can discover the non-human language, and decode animal communication. Along the way, what is also important is that we are developing technology that supports scientists and protection.” ESP believes that understanding languages can help deepen our relationship with animals and allow us to better protect them.

In the past, understanding the communication of animals heavily depended on a great deal of observation. Whether it is alarm calls or sounds made by dolphins or elephants, scientists have been amazed by the different forms of non-human communication present in these animals. With the development of new technologies, researchers have now begun to understand a great deal of data they can get through machine learning.
Elodie Briefer, a professor at the University of Copenhagen, has recently helped co-develop a pig grunt (呼噜声) analysing algorithm (算法). It can help scientists understand whether the pigs are expressing positive or negative feelings. However, ESP is doing it differently, by focusing on all kinds of animals, not just one. ESP believes it is likely that social animals communicate with each other, for example, whales and dolphins.
Although ESP believes that understanding AI machine learning data is only one step to full communication, it believes that one day we will be able to understand entire systems of communication.
