Project CETI is an international initiative to understand the acoustic communication of sperm whales using advances in artificial intelligence.[1][2] Its name, Cetacean Translation Initiative,[3] is a reference to the SETI Institute.[4] The project has an interdisciplinary scientific board including marine biologists, artificial intelligence researchers, roboticists, theoretical computer scientists, and linguists. The project has a base on the island of Dominica where recordings are being collected.[5] Off the coast of Alaska, CETI succeeded in the first intentional human-whale interaction in humpback whale "language".[6][7] The organization has been selected as a TED Audacious Project.[8]
