There's a lot of discussion around the use of artificial intelligence in virtually every industry right now, but especially in the field of science.

David Gruber, National Geographic Explorer and founder of Project CETI, is using AI to decode whale language and believes his research could one day take humanity into extra terrestrial territory.

Project CETI has worked to understand nonhuman speech, starting with sperm whales. In Dominica, researchers use drones to tag whales and
collect audio, which is then cataloged by AI.
