The AI that could decode what dolphins say

Dolphins are known to be highly intelligent creatures, and have even been found to construct'sentences' from patterns of clicks and pulses to communicate with each other. And, using artificial intelligence, researchers are now hoping to figure out what they're talking about. Researchers in Sweden are set to begin creating a dolphin-language dictionary using technology from language-analysis startup Gavagai AB – and, it could one day allow humans to communicate with the animals. The program launched by researchers at KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Gavagai AB plan to monitor captive bottlenose dolphins at a wildlife park. The language-analysis software has already proven capable in 40 human languages. And, it's hoped that the artificial intelligence system can similarly decode the dolphins' 'dictionary.'
