Recent technological advances, notably Project CETI, are enabling us to begin understanding animal communication, starting with sperm whales. This interdisciplinary initiative employs machine learning, robotics, and natural language processing to decipher nonhuman animal communication.

To address this, the NYU More-Than-Human Life (MOTH) Program and Project CETI are collaborating to establish ethical and legal guardrails. This conversation features David Gruber and César Rodríguez-Garavito, moderated by Teo Grossman of Bioneers.
