Howl’s that for some wild communication? #TEDTalks

Why do wolves howl? With the help of AI, we’re getting closer to an answer. Linguist and software engineer Jeffrey T. Reed shares his research on wolf sounds in the wild, revealing the surprisingly complex range of noises — barks, yelps, whimpers, even teeth clacking — these creatures make for different social functions.

    The wolfues are wolfing, AI is Ai-ing, the human beings are human be-ing….. all are doing what they do, doesn’t mean we have to make more out of it. Only humans go against nature & make issues out of natural living.

    I’m glad I’m not the only one who can tell which of my dumbasses are barking/howling based on how they sound

    This is some of what AI should be used for. Not stealing art from artists or faking research papers.

    Why cut the most important point at the end… There HAVE TO BE ANIMALS TO DECODE! We need to stop killing wolves!

    If I heard a human babies cry @ 100 decibels, I would not yell back to let it know where I was, without some stealthy investigation first !
    I also wouldn’t send my personal info out into the universe hoping to make contact with strangers, who might come visit me. Sure, they might hear me bumbling around, but I am not going to drop a pin on their map to come find me, without some investigation first.
    That first howl made me want to go camping. All 50, I’m fine here on the couch listening to you.

If a company plants trees to offset its pollution, is that climate progress — or is it greenwashing? Critics of carbon markets say it’s the latter. But Sandeep Roy Choudhury, who’s spent two decades financing climate projects from rural cookstoves to coastal forests, says the real failure is discouraging companies from even trying. Hear his…

If a company plants trees to offset its pollution, is that climate progress — or is it greenwashing? Critics of carbon markets say it’s the latter. But Sandeep Roy Choudhury, who’s spent two decades financing climate projects from rural cookstoves to coastal forests, says the real failure is discouraging companies from even trying. Hear his case for why we shouldn’t let perfection block meaningful action on climate change. (Recorded at TED Countdown Summit 2025 on June 17, 2025)
