Scientists recreate lost bird songs using AI to help birds find mates
Reported bythe Guardian ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Researchers at Chester Zoo and elsewhere recreated rufous-collared sparrow songs from 1960s recordings using computer models; within three months, a local bird had begun copying parts of the computer-generated song, suggesting the approach could help restore lost dialects when population decline prevents young birds from learning them.
This is an early demonstration in one species; broader application to conservation is still being explored.
