We're also really excited to announce that the premiere of our feature documentary Patrick and the Whale will be held at the Toronto Film Festival on Sept 9th. Learn more:

Sperm whales communicate through sound, using echolocation to navigate the deep ocean. Different whale clans use their own patterns of clicks - or “codas” - much in the same way humans use language.
The meaning behind whale language is a fascinating mystery. But could scientists be about to solve it? Find out how researchers are using AI, visual data, and sound recordings to try to understand the ocean’s biggest enigma.

Great video as always! I cross my fingers that CETI manages to crack the language code of sperm whales, it would certainly be a milestone in human history if we manage to actually understand/decipher the language of marine mammals. If we ever manage to communicate with sperm whales, the very first thing we should tell them is to stay away from big tankers and submarines and to turn down the volume when we meet each other in the water. :)

The horrid sounds of ocean going vessels has destroyed the ability for the whales to communicate long distance. It used to be that the great whales could hear each other across an entire hemisphere - not any more, the ocean is filled with foreign mechanical sounds. On top of that we've polluted their food supply with plastics and oil-based chemical poisons.

I wonder how translateable languages are even gonna be... So much vocabulary of our language is built on our experiences. There are thousands of words that a whale could never make proper sense of as those words simply fall outside any whale's experience. There are likely just as many "words" in whale song, that we completely lack context for and which, therefore, will be incredibly difficult to match up with concepts encoded in our own languages. It could be really interesting to see whether it's possible to translate between different whale clans too. Since they share contexts, this may actually be easier, and enable them to interact beyond their groups in new ways.

A major flaw I see in its design is that human chatbots can be tested manually for correctness. In fact, I believe that human input was necessary in creation of our chatbots. With whale language, we need to entrust everything to the machines.

Just like different computer chips can have different transistor sizes, transistor density, frequencies, instructions per cycle, joules per instruction etc., I'd love to see the size of whale brains scaled by the appropriate measures for brains, like neuron density, cortex surface area, frequency(?), etc., to visually see how much "thinking power" they have. A chip can be twice as big , but twice as slow as another and have the same compute power. Maybe the same is true for whales? Maybe they are just saving energy by having a bigger brain that is slower and less dense. But in chips its the opposite, smaller chips are more efficiency, because the farther you have to move data the more expensive it is in terms of energy. So who knows? So far I've only found a study relating low number of neurons per kg body mass to dive times and it seems the whales with long dive times have much less neurons, which makes sense as you'd want to conserve as much energy as possible.

When male dolphins leave the matriarchal pod to seek mates, they learn the ''dialect'' of the new pod. There is evidence that dolphins can understand some WHALES. Hopefully, there would be a breakthrough (perhaps with the Orcas) that would set off an ocean wide chain reaction, as the Orcas or Bottlenose dolphins would relay that, ''Hey, the two legged land pests are not all insane- some are good AND we can communicate. Pass the word''. Like Hawking et al., I regard it as a BAD idea to be broadcasting into space (listening is fine). We should put our resources into talking to our ocean cousins. After we get past the awkward apologies for our pollution, hunting, and wars, we could ask them about the where abouts of the sunken cities of our ancestors (and who knows what else)! We'd need to pass laws against ''weaponizing'' them (as is currently being done by the world's various war machines) and make the danger known to the whales and dolphins so they will not cooperate. I STILL remember Day of the Dolphin, when I saw it as a kid. Can still hear G.C. Scott yelling- ''Man is bad- B must never speak to man again''!! It was around '73. That movie tore me up.

The underlying model language of ChatGPT is GPT-3 by OpenAI. For our research we investigated and tested this model language before the chat bot was released to the public. It was still a beta version back then but the language model was the same. You can see that at the screen recording at 04:05 in the video. So our research was a bit ahead of time before GPT made big news through the release of the public chat bot. 😉

to expand a wee bit. i think it's unreasonable to assume that whale "language" (whatever that ends up meaning) will correspond one-to-one to a human model. ChatGPT (and other such AIs) have been trained on human language patterns. That doesn't mean it's pointless to train it on whale patterns and see what comes out, but what will result is very unlikely to be some kind of rosetta stone of whale communication. Whale vocalizations have evolved (as you point out) under drastically different pressures, and i don't believe any given technology designed to emulate human communication will just happen to seamlessly map onto whalespeak. a whole lot of modelling of human languages has gone into developping ChatGPT. it's just obviously not a species-neutral technology

I think the sonar is perceived by a whale as flashes of light that I think their brain is capable of complenting it with there real eyes. So the sonar is like a flashlight which enables them of course to see better, and gives a 360 view. Since they communicate the same way, It might be possible they talk in images. Therefor it should be interesting to research the echo's and not the sound. The reflection of the sound the whale produces contains information for them. And it might be very interesting to investigave if whales are able to reproduce these reflective sounds. Of course it is also possible that it is an audible language. Completelyy different from ours... But if their language is visual... containing images constructed by their brains from sound... I wonder if there is grammar. But my idea is that their brain is capable of melting visual and audio to one form of awareness. Not two seperate things. And my fantasy is that they can produce virtual realities with their sounds to eachother, and in this you can find the same sophistication and intricate nuances as in our civilization. But that is probably not true, and nice for a movie. 🙂

If sperm whales are intelligent as we think, communicating with them would be a huge breakout in exploring the oceans. One day you might see a paper published by a sperm whale's findings in the deep abyss, the stories of its tribe, and lyrics to their whale songs.

The size of whale clan is too small. So their language and vocabulary also will likely be limited. However, it will be fun if we can communicate with whales.

Love to our ocean cousins! Tell them we are sorry for hunting them and polluting the ocean and for the sonic weapons and noise. Tell them if they are entangled or hurt to signal us and help will come. And tell them of waters where NO nation will be allowed to hurt them! And ask them if they know the where abouts of ruins of the sunken cities of our ancestors.

I think that, as long as the populations survive, it's only a matter of time before we decode whale speech. I hope I'm still around when it happens, I'm turning 40 next year so there's a good chance I'll see this happen in my lifetime, I think. I also hope it will change the way most people look at animals in general, I believe they are sentient, emotionally complex and deserving of the same rights to life as humans. We are only animals after all.
