ยท 00:52:23
Did you ever wonder how interspecies communication really works?
In this episode of Campus To Capital, we speak with Fiona Korwin-Pawlowski, Chief Strategy & Programs Officer at Project CETI - a research initiative that uses cutting-edge AI to decode the communication system of sperm whales.
Fiona shares insights from a career spanning humanitarian work at UNICEF and Global Citizen to leading strategy at CETI, where science, technology, and ethics meet.
We talk about:
- How AI is applied in large-scale ocean research
- What studying whales teaches us about language, empathy, and intelligence
- Why oceans deserve more attention in the climate and tech debate
- The challenges of measuring success in research beyond KPIs
- Advice for students interested in working at the intersection of tech, research, and global impact
An episode that shows how AI can expand our understanding of communication - not only between humans, but across species.
Many thanks to Fiona for joining the conversation!
