Can Humans Speak to Whales?

Project seti is using artificial intelligence and machine learning to figure out whether whales have a language. The idea is that if this programme can work out what whales are saying, then it would be possible for humans to maybe speak with them in their own language. It's an example of something that i think all of us have been looking for for some time, which is highly sophisticated machine learning not used as a weapon of war. But the moment that it becomes worth while to coopt into a military purpose, that thing will happen. That's how all good science starts.
