Limited range of contexts The third obstacle identified involves animal communication focusing on a restricted set of contexts, such as alarm and courtship. This limitation reduces the ability to communicate with animals about a wide range of topics or contexts, potentially limiting the scope of inter-species communication. At least, it may not rise to the level of expectation if a successful AI translator is built only to reveal that the birds are communicating the equivalent of sad face and eggplant emojis all day.
Lol, for most animals I would say, this is probably the case. Some do exhibit evidence for complex language though. Deep learning is a perfect application for this.
Yeah, I think lack of context and the fact that lots of communication, even humans communication, has no actions directly associated with it makes it really hard to decode. That coupled with the fact that some sounds that are made don’t really have exact meanings and sometimes no meanings at all. Prairie dogs have one of the most decoded communication systems, to the point where people even understand which prairie dog “words” are nouns and which are adjectives/descriptors, but there is still communication they are doing that people dont understand yet. Would sure be wild to gain even more insight with AI and maybe even have a translation device between human and animal!
