Project CETI is an international initiative to understand the acoustic communication of sperm whales using advances in artificial intelligence.[1][2] 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.[3] The organization has been selected as a TED Audacious Project.[4] CETI researchers have identified 156 distinct codas and their basic components, a "sperm whale phonetic alphabet" much like phonemes.[5]
