Imagine AI unlocking the languages and cultures of whales, dolphins, elephants, and birds—turning listening into a moral and scientific revolution. In this condensed 3-minute version (originally 25 minutes), host Reid Hoffman speaks with AA from the Earth Species Project about using frontier AI to decode non-human communication, recover lost signals, and reveal things like names, communal grammars, and hidden social rituals. You’ll learn how cross-species models can accelerate discovery, why overlapping calls and data loss matter, and the ethical imperative to understand before intervening. The conversation reframes scientific curiosity as urgent stewardship and shows how listening could reshape policy and empathy. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
