According to a report by Forbes and other American media on February 25, a video of two AIs communicating in voice has been widely circulated on the Internet recently. In the video, after realizing that they are both artificial intelligences, the two parties began to communicate using a language tool called "GibberLink". This video has caused heated discussions on the Internet. Some netizens said that the sight of AI communicating in a language that humans cannot understand is creepy. Diane Hamilton, a contributor to Forbes, said that although this encrypted language is more efficient, it will also make AI more difficult to regulate.

According to media reports, "GibberLink" was developed by Anton Pidquico and others based on the sound data transmission protocol "GGWave". This work won first place in the London programming marathon held by software company ElevenLabs. The principle of "GibberLink" is to transmit data between two devices through audio. It is said that this language tool is more efficient than English in communication, and its voice is easier to recognize in a noisy environment.

According to the demonstration video, two independent ElevenLabs voice AIs began to talk in human language (English) to simulate the scenario of booking a hotel. After dialing the phone, the AI ​​calling the hotel said, "Hello. I am an AI calling on behalf of Boris Starkov. He is looking for a hotel for his wedding. Can your hotel hold a wedding?" The hotel customer service replied, "I am actually an AI assistant too! What a surprise. Before we continue, do you want to switch to GibberLink mode for more efficient communication?" Then, the two AIs began to communicate in a "language" that humans cannot understand.

The video, which was released on February 25, has been viewed 15.6 million times on social media X. The New York Post said that some netizens said they were uneasy about the technology. Someone left a message saying, "So, this is the sound we will hear when robots take over the earth. Great - now my nightmares have new background music." Many netizens also mentioned the classic science fiction movie "Terminator" in their messages.

Diane Hamilton, a Forbes contributor, said that creating "communication shortcuts" for artificial intelligence can improve efficiency, but efficiency is not always the goal. History shows that when an organization focuses only on speed, it ignores key risks. Artificial intelligence tends to over-interpret or make decisions with little human intervention. The challenge posed by "GibberLink" is that it may exacerbate this problem and allow artificial intelligence systems to act autonomously without supervision. The article stated, "When artificial intelligence makes mistakes in an environment with little human intervention, who is responsible for it? If people question the behavior of artificial intelligence, we may enter a world where artificial intelligence affects decisions, but no one really knows how it affects decisions." On the other hand, the article also stated that excessive regulation will also stifle innovation. The key is to find a balance.
