Think about if two AIs might chat with one another in a language no human might perceive. Proper. Now go cover below the covers.
In case you’ve referred to as customer support within the final yr or so, you’ve got in all probability chatted with an AI. In truth, the earliest demonstrations of highly effective massive language fashions confirmed off how such AIs might simply idiot human callers. There are actually so many AI chatbots on the market dealing with customer support that two of them are sure to dial one another up, and now, in the event that they do, they’ll do it in their very own particular, sonic language.
Builders on the ElevenLabs 2025 Hackathon just lately demonstrated GibberLink. Here is the way it works, in response to an illustration they offered on YouTube.
Two AI brokers from ElevenLabs (we have referred to as them the most effective speech synthesis startup) name one another a couple of lodge reserving. After they understand they’re each AI assistants, they swap to a higher-speed audio communication referred to as GGWave. In line with a put up on Reddit, GGWave is “a communication protocol that permits knowledge transmission through sound waves.”
Within the video, the audio tones that change spoken phrases sound a bit like old-school modem handshake protocols.
It is arduous to say if GGWave and Gibberlink are any sooner than speech, however the builders declare the GGWave is cheaper as a result of it now not depends on the GPU to interpret the speech and might as a substitute depend on the much less resource-intensive CPU.
The group shared their code on GitHub in case anybody desires to attempt constructing this communication protocol for their very own chatting AI chatbots.
Since these have been ElevenLabs AI Brokers, there isn’t any indication that GibberLink would work with ChatGPT or Google Gemini, although I am positive some will quickly attempt related GGWave efforts with these and different generative AI chatbots.
What are they saying?!
A pair of Synthetic intelligence Assistants “talking” their unintelligible language appears like a recipe for catastrophe. Who is aware of what these chatbots would possibly rise up to? After they’re performed reserving that lodge room, what in the event that they determine to empty the person’s checking account after which use the funds to purchase one other pc so as to add a 3rd GGWave “voice” to the combination?
In the end, this can be a cool tech demonstration that does not have a lot goal past proving it may be performed. It has, although, succeeded in making individuals just a little nervous.
