AI Hunts Whales With Lightsaber Sounds

Whales are singing Star Wars lightsabers—and scientists are listening. A groundbreaking project using AI and underwater microphones is tracking whale migrations along Australia’s coast, revealing surprising species like orcas off the Gold Coast and shifting migration patterns tied to climate change. Starting with just three microphones in 2024, the team aims for 14 by 2026, collecting 10 terabytes of data already in 2025—with Google powering the analysis. All findings will be open-sourced, inviting global collaboration to decode the ocean’s sonic secrets. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
