• Researchers can decipher noises, inaudible to human ears, through AI that show animals and plants can communicate
• Here's what we know:

1. AI can find, understand and translate animal sounds into a language
2. AI builds shapes representing a certain animal's language; it then matches patterns to a known language and translates concepts

• Some AI discoveries with animals:

1. Elephants use a signal to warn their herd of approaching honeybees, which are very dangerous for them
2. Mother dolphins give names to their children
3. Whales are using clicking noises to communicate

• Scientists are now working on developing AI robots that will speak to animals in their own language
• Teams of international scientists have successfully trained AI to speak with bees, elephants and whales.
