🐋Scientists have decoded what they believe is a "sperm whale phonetic alphabet" using Artificial Intelligence, according to a research published by Project Cetacean Translation Initiative.

They analyzed dozens of recordings and found that sperm whales make clicking sounds, the rhythm and pace of which depends on the context of their conversation. This helps the animals to make group decisions and plan cooperative activities like gathering food and caring for calves. The researchers discovered 143 frequently occurring combinations.

The researchers believe that AI will eventually enable humans to learn to communicate with the whales, which would become the first human-to-animal communication in history.
