0:00.0	Hi, you're about to get smarter in just a few minutes with Curiosity Daily from Discovery.
0:09.0	Time flies when you're learning super cool stuff.
0:11.0	I'm Nate, and I'm Gally. If you're dropping in for the
0:14.0	first time welcome to curiosity where we aim to blow your mind by helping you to grow
0:17.7	your mind. If you're a loyal listener, welcome back. Today you'll learn about
0:21.3	how scientists are using AI to talk to animals, the discovery of new very big, very old candidate galaxies,
0:29.0	and how there just may be an extra layer in the Earth's inner core.
0:34.0	Without further ado, let's satisfy some curiosity.
0:37.0	For a decade, scientists have been trying to figure out different ways to communicate with animals,
0:41.0	and thanks to AI, that reality is actually closer than ever.
0:45.6	All right well I don't know if everyone is aware of this but I am actually just an AI generated
0:50.6	voice of a lemur sitting behind the microphone saying whatever so
0:54.5	secrets out it's good that this technology is catching up to me you know yeah I know
0:59.6	exactly what you mean how is this being done, there's actually an entire sub-science devoted to the field
1:06.1	of making animals communicate to us in a traditional language-based sense. It's called digital
1:10.9	bioacoustics. Scientists in this field use advanced sensors
1:14.4	and artificial intelligence technology
1:16.2	to observe and decode how many species, including plants,
1:19.5	already share information
1:24.0	back to us in a human language.
1:27.0	That sounds pretty cool.
1:28.0	What are some of the ways that we've learned to communicate with animals already?
