In primitive civilizations animism and totemism assigned animals and things a soul and a spiritual dimension. Images of magical animals prevailed in prehistoric art, and in polytheistic civilizations such as the Egyptian developed theriomorphism, which combined in the essence of the gods both human and animal. Recent AI solutions are making some animal expressions (from dogs to whales) recognizable, which are being compared to some aspects of human language, such as using different verses as proper names for each specimen in a herd of elephants.
After the turnaround already made of machine translation of languages used by humans around the world, to what extent will AI be able to translate the languages of other living beings and increase communication between humans and animals? And how will the intelligences of animals that have performed tasks for humans for millennia, such as bees, falcons or dogs, inspire new AI models to serve us?
