With the help of artificial intelligence systems, researchers have discovered that sperm whale communication features extremely sophisticated structures similar to human language, scientists have revealed. The modern technology is helping scientists analyze huge datasets, uncovering new levels of diversity and complexity in animal communication. Researchers have used AI to decode what they characterize as a “sperm whale phonetic alphabet,” the BBC reports. The whales communicate with one another through rhythmic sequences of clicks, called codas. Previously thought to have just 21 coda types, …
