Google AI listens to 15 years of sea-bottom recordings for hidden whale songs

Dang. If there was 15 years worth of sea bottom recordings of hidden whale songs I expected a human to be the one to listen it, not an AI. They could use this discovery to further their study of whales and their behavior. Then again, maybe the human will get bored listening to it. An AI won't.

Really? Do you have a reference? This isn’t just a byproduct of a military project looking to find subs better?
