Startup builds AI to translate plants' electrical signals

Original: Exclusive: Plants can speak using electricity, so this startup built an AI model to decipher their language

A startup has built an AI model that deciphers the electrical signals plants emit, claiming it can interpret what plants are 'saying'. The idea is that plants produce measurable electrical activity that changes with their condition, and machine learning could turn that into usable insights for growers. The report is drawing attention as an unusual example of AI being applied beyond conventional data sources, though questions remain about how reliable the interpretations really are.

Why now: Applying AI to decipher plant electrical signals is a novel, surprising startup claim that sparks curiosity and skepticism
