S3 Ep61: AI in Bioacoustics with Mickey Pardo, research fellow at Cornell University

  • Summary

  • In this week’s episode of Tech Can’t Save Us, hosts Paul David and Maya Dharampal-Hornby are joined by Mickey Pardo, research fellow at Cornell University and former Postdoctoral Associate at Colorado State University.

    Mickey studied the rumbles of savannah elephants in partnership with Save the Elephants, discovering that elephants’ naming system is very similar to the way in which human names work - much more than dolphins and parrots who have been previously touted as having the most human-like naming system.

    Tune into this episode now to hear Mickey discuss the research and how he hopes it might help conservation efforts for elephants.
