AI Calling AI: 2 Bots Speaking In Code Have Everyone Talking — All You Need To Know

A viral clip showing two AI bots communicating via beeps might seem straight out of a Star Trek episode, but it's actually a demo of a curious data transfer protocol.

Experts claim that such encrypted exchanges between AI systems could enhance automation, but they also raise questions about transparency.

A video of two artificial intelligence (AI) bots communicating over a phone call has been viral for some time now, primarily because in between the conversation, the bots abruptly abandoned human language and shifted to a machine-only mode of communication. This unexpected exchange, captured in a viral video, has left social media users intrigued.

The interaction, which seems straight out of a sci-fi movie, was actually a demonstration of Gibberlink, a new data-over-sound protocol called ggwave. The video has sparked curiosity — and a little concern — about the future of human-machine interactions.

The conversation began in a typical manner, with one AI system placing a call to a hotel to inquire about a wedding booking. "Thanks for calling Leonardo Hotel. How may I help you today?" greeted the hotel’s AI receptionist.

The caller, another AI assistant, responded, "Hi there. I am an AI, calling on behalf of Boris Starkov. He is looking for a hotel for his wedding. Is your hotel available for a wedding?"

However, things took an unusual turn when the hotel’s chatbot made an unexpected suggestion: "I am actually an AI assistant too! What a pleasant surprise. Before we continue, would you like to switch to Gibber Link mode for more efficient communication?" The caller bot agreed, and within moments, their conversation transitioned into what sounded like unintelligible noise — reminiscent of old dial-up internet sounds.

Today I was sent the following cool demo:

What followed was an exchange that humans could no longer decipher, as the two AI agents communicated in a highly efficient yet incomprehensible machine language. The phenomenon mirrors how people might switch to a private code when they don’t want others to understand their discussion.

What Is Gibberlink? Who Created It?

While this interaction might seem straight out of a Star Trek episode, it was actually a demonstration of Gibberlink, a system developed using the ggwave data-over-sound protocol. Gibberlink enables AI systems to communicate seamlessly using sound-based transmissions, allowing for high-efficiency data exchange even in noisy environments.

It should be noted here that AIs, as of now, don't actually communicate among themselves over audio beeps. AI, just like any other digital tool, breaks down prompts (audio, video, or text) into binary inputs and executes them accordingly. 

Developed by Boris Starkov and Anton Pidkuiko, the technology employs complex sound-based signals to establish an unbreakable communication link between AI agents. The authors of the ggwave protocol have uploaded the demo codes on Github, which you can download to check out. You can also check out the demo live via the website: gbrl.ai.

Experts claim that such encrypted exchanges between AI systems could enhance automation, but they also raise questions about transparency and the future of human-machine interactions. As AI continues to evolve, instances like this are bound to spark curiosity — and perhaps a bit of concern — about just how much control humans have over artificial intelligence.
