## Summary

Denise Herzing, founder of the Wild Dolphin Project, says AI is helping her research group find patterns in dolphin sounds from countless hours of video and audio footage. The group is working with Georgia Tech scientists and Google DeepMind to give structure to dolphin language but has not fully translated it. Herzing says two-way communication remains a ways off, with the team's underwater wearable computer testing sound-based object labels such as a scarf and sargassum.
