Can AI talk whale?
AI is diving deep. Can it save our oceans - or are we handing too much power to the algorithm?
From tracking sharks to scanning the ocean floor, artificial intelligence is already reshaping how we explore, protect and manage the sea - but could it go even further? Like... decoding whale language?
This talk gets into the wild world of ocean AI - where neural networks meet coral reefs.
Can it really help us restore ecosystems, outsmart overfishing and clean up pollution, or are we handing too much power to the algorithm?

Emily Jateff, museum curator of Ocean Futures will moderate a conversation between panellists:
- Matt Okine – Comedian/Author
- Dr Vanessa Pirotta – Wildlife/Whale Scientist
- Dr Catherine Ball – Scientific Futurist
