I really hope that people are working on machine learning projects for animal communication. If you listen to crows and ravens in the wild it seems clear that there are patterns.
I would also like to see technology interfaces developed for animal use.
I am worried that much of the natural language development that would occur from frequent interaction is being held back by the social isolation of most species that humans keep as pets.
Maybe humans need to engineer the languages and teach them to the species?
- momirlan 5y agoApparently horses have a body language.
- FartyMcFarter 5y agoSo do dogs: for example, if you do something that makes them stressed, they use calming signals such as licking their own lips or yawning.

Horses with the gift of clairvoyance read subtle shifts in weight of their rider and know to jump or turn left before the rider says so or uses the reins. I forget which book it’s in, but there’s an often-repeated tale of a horse who learned to do sums and could add numbers even without his owner in sight. It was eventually discovered that he read the anticipation of his observers and knew to stop stomping his hoof once they relaxed after peak tension.
