Have you ever imagined being able to communicate with your pets at home and have them understand everything you say? It sounds too good to be true, but scientists have started using AI to help communicate with animals.
Professor Bake told Scientific Magazine that AI allows humans to use technology to watch and understand the sounds and signals animals communicate with so we humans can try to speak back to them She said trying to communicate in animals’ language could be better than teaching them how to use human sign language. AI is already helping us communicate with bats and bees. This could change what we know about these animals and our relationships with them.
Professor Bake explained how Scientist Tovel had used recordings and AI to understand bats. “Bats have their own language. They often argue over food. They have different names or ‘signature calls’,” she said, “mother bats lower their voice when speaking to their babies. Their voice can never be heard with human ears. But AI makes this possible because a computer can be trained to listen like a bat.”
Actually, AI has so far achieved a lot in this field. For example, the computer not only listens but also watches bees’ body movement to understand what they are communicating. Bake said scientists now know how bees say things such as “be quiet” or “stop”. Scientist Landlof even created a robot Honeybee that entered a bee’s home and was able to communicate with other bees when it wanted them to stop doing something or fly.

Our school was going to hold an art festival. Every class was actively preparing for it. However, our class didn’t know what to perform at first. After discussion, in the end we decided to sing the song Ode to the Motherland (《歌唱祖国》) to show our love to our country.
We practiced hard together after school. After five times’ practice, some students still couldn’t remember the words. Then one classmate came up with an idea. He divided us into small groups. Then the person who could sing well taught the others.
Slowly, it began to work. We were full of hope for the festival.
The day arrived. We had never took part in such activities before, so we were kind of nervous. Our teacher seemed to read our minds and he gave us some suggestions to make us feel relaxed. But when we stood in front of hundreds of people, we still felt nervous. We all tried to control ourselves because we were afraid of making mistakes.
When we started to sing, the leader looked at us with a smile. This made all of us no longer feel nervous. We succeeded in singing the song. As it was over, we got exciting cheers. Through this activity, I understood the importance of working together and I loved it very much.

Our school was going to hold an art festival. Every class was actively preparing for it. However our class didn’t know what to perform at first. After discussion, in the end we decided to sing the song Ode to the Motherland (《歌唱祖国》) to show our love to our country.
We practiced hard together after school. After five times’ practice, some students still couldn’t remember the words. Then one classmate came up with an idea. He divided us into small groups. Then the person who could sing well taught the others.
Slowly, it began to work. We were full of hope for the festival.
The day arrived. We had never took part in such activities before, so we were kind of nervous. Our teacher seemed to read our minds and he gave us some suggestions to make us feel relaxed. But when we stood in front of hundreds of people, we still felt nervous. We all tried to control ourselves because we were afraid of making mistakes.
When we started to sing, the leader looked at us with a smile. This made all of us no longer feel nervous. We succeeded in singing the song. As it was over, we got exciting cheers. Through this activity, I understood the importance of working together and I loved it very much.
