Thank you
@ucnewsroom.bsky.social for creating this informative and even handed representation of the challenges and opinions around pets pushing buttons to communicate with humans. See below a few papers we published on it. We have 3 more on the way (one about cats)

Do animals have language? Our podcast on science and technology. The first episode in a two-part series that explores animal communication and efforts to translate it in the age of AI

A few days ago I was asked by @kncukier.bsky.social for @economist.com "whether language is a cognitive ability that’s unique to humans, or just one of many modes of communication dotted across the tree of life". You can hear the first episode of the conversation that followed here.
