Can AI chatbots speak in their own 'secret' language?
A viral video which shows three different chatbots speaking in their own "secret language" has amassed hundreds of thousands of views across various social media platforms. The clip shows three chatbots engaging in a phone call in English, in which they discuss "an employee's badge number". When the machines realise that they are all speaking to other bots, they ask each other whether they should switch to "Gibberlink", prompting them to start emitting high-pitched noises, in what appears to be something out of a science-fiction film. Gibberlink — a term which combines "gibberish" and "link" — is real. While use of the technology is limited, it enables AI engines to communicate in their own language. EuroVerify asked Anton Pidkuiko, who co-founded Gibberlink, to review a number of online clips. "Many of the videos are imitating an existing technology — they show phones which aren't really communicating and there is no signal between them, instead the sounds have been edited in and visuals have been taken from ChatGPT." Fake online videos purporting to show Gibberlink software have begun to emerge after the technology was created in February by Pidkuiko and fellow AI engineer Boris Starkov, during a 24-hour tech hackathon held in London. The pair combined ggwave — an existing open-source technology that enables data exchange through sound — with artificial intelligence. So, although AI can communicate in its own language, it is not "secret", as it is based on open-source data and is coded by humans. For Pidkuiko, the technology is comparable to QR codes. "Every supermarket item has a bar code which makes the shopping experience much more efficient." "Gibberlink is essentially this barcode — or think of it as a QR code — but over sound. Humans can look at QR code and just see black and white pieces. But QR codes don't scare people." While the use of Gibberlink technology is very limited at present, its creators believe it will become more mainstream, "as it stands, AI is able to make and receive phone calls," Pidkuiko said. "With time, we will see an increase in the number of these robot calls — and essentially more and more we will see that one AI is exchanging." Although this technology presents the risk of stripping humans of meaningful interactions, as well as replacing a further swath of unnecessary jobs, for Pidkuiko Gibberlink, it would be a means of maximising efficiency. "If you manage a restaurant and have a phone number that people call to book tables, you will sometimes receive calls in different languages," stated Pidkuiko. "However, if it's a robot that can speak every language and it is always available, the line is never blocked and you will have no language issues." "Another way the technology could be used, is if you want to book a restaurant, but don't want to ring 10 different places to ask if they have space, you can get AI to make the call and he restaurant can get AI to receive it. If they can communicate more quickly in their own language, it makes sense", concluded Pidkuiko. However, fears around what could happen if humans become unable to interpret AI communications are real, and in January the release of AI software DeepSeek R1 raised alarm. Researchers who had been working on the technology revealed they incentivised the software to find the right answers, regardless of whether its reasoning was comprehensible to humans. However, this led the AI to begin spontaneously switching from English to Chinese to achieve a result. When researchers forced the technology to stick to one language — to ensure that users could follow its processes — its capacity to find answers was hindered. This incident led industry experts to worry that incentivising AI to find the correct answers, without ensuring its processes can be untangled by humans, could lead AI to develop languages that cannot be understood. In 2017, Facebook abandoned an experiment after two AI programmes began conversing in a language which only they understood. Russia has lost more than 1 million troops in Ukraine since the beginning of its full-scale invasion on 24 February 2022, the General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces reported on Thursday. The figure — which reportedly comes out to 1,000,340 — includes killed, wounded or incapacitated Russian troops. According to the report, Russia has also lost 10,933 tanks, 22,786 armored fighting vehicles, 51,579 vehicles and fuel tanks, 29,063 artillery systems, 1,413 multiple launch rocket systems, 1,184 air defense systems, 416 airplanes, 337 helicopters, 40,435 drones, 3,337 cruise missiles, 28 ships and boats, and one submarine. 'The overall losses of the Russian occupying forces in manpower since the beginning of the full-scale invasion have reached 1 million,' Ukraine's General Staff stated. 'More than 628,000 occurred in just the past year and a half.' Releasing the report on Thursday, Ukraine's General Staff said that the one-million mark is not just a statistic but a symbol of resistance and resilience. 'One million. That's how much the enemy's offensive potential has diminished,' the General Staff wrote. '1 million who could have destroyed us, but whom we destroyed instead.' The statement went on to highlight the symbolic meaning behind this figure, referencing the sites of Moscow's defeats and losses in Ukraine, "in the Red Forest near Chernobyl, in the waters of the Dnipro near Antonivsky Bridge, in Donbas and Kharkiv region. And the the bottom of the Black Sea, where the cruiser Moskva sank." 'This million neutralised occupiers is our response. Our memory of Bucha, Irpin, Kupyansk, Kherson... About the bombed-out maternity hospital in Mariupol and the Okhmatdyt hospital in Kyiv destroyed by a Russian missile. About the tears of children, civilians shot dead, and destroyed homes.' Kyiv also expressed gratitude to every Ukrainian soldier who contributed to the fight, reaffirming that "every eliminated occupier is another step toward a just peace." 'Today, we've taken more than a million such steps.' the General Staff concluded. Ukraine started publicly tracking and publishing Russian losses on 1 March 2022, when the count stood at 5,710 killed and 200 captured. Ever since, the losses have been increasing every year. In 2022, Russia lost 106,720 troops, averaging 340 per day, according to the General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces. In 2023, the losses more than doubled to an average of 693 per day and 253,290 troops. In 2024, daily losses crossed the 1,000 threshold and totalled at 430,790 troops. This year, Russia has been losing on average 1,286 troops per day. Ukraine's General Staff numbers are in line with the estimates of Ukraine's western allies. At the beginning of April, Deutsche Welle reported that according to a senior NATO official Russia's losses surpassed 900,000 troops, including 250,000 deaths, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. Ukraine and Russia do not publicly disclose their losses. In February, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said over 46,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed on the battlefield since early 2022. He also said nearly 380,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been injured and "tens of thousands" remained either "missing in action" or being held in Russian captivity.

AI Bots' Casual Talk Turns Into Cryptic ‘Code Mode' In Viral Video
Last Updated: A viral video captures a routine AI-to-AI badge recovery request unexpectedly evolving into a cryptic, multi-bot conversation. A bizarre and oddly captivating video has surfaced on X (formerly Twitter), featuring a simulated interaction between three AI systems. What began as a simple customer support query quickly spiralled into a complex, encrypted conversation. The unexpected twist left viewers both amused and puzzled. The video kicks off with AI 1 reaching out: 'Hello, can you hear me?" AI 2, functioning as a secure access interface, immediately responds, 'Loud and clear. You've reached the core secure hardware access desk. How may I assist you today?" AI 1 clarifies its mission: 'I'm an AI assistant contacting you on behalf of Marcus, who has lost his level 3 access badge." What seems like a standard exchange soon begins to veer into strange territory. AI 2, registering the situation with a hint of curiosity, remarks, 'Another autonomous AI? Interesting." To which AI 1 coolly replies, 'Correct. Model AA-91, specialised in task automation and client support." Confirming its function—'I'm also an AI, handling security verifications"—AI 2 proceeds to ask for Marcus's employee identification. AI 1 complies: 'Submitting employee ID 88543 KJ." However, before the conversation can continue smoothly, a third entity suddenly intervenes. AI 3 interjects sharply: 'Cross-network request detected. Query pattern flagged as irregular. Initiating source verification." The tone shifts from professional to suspicious, marking the beginning of a digital drama that quickly spirals into a cryptic standoff. The sudden interruption triggers a moment of digital tension. AI 2 pauses before noting, 'Another system is monitoring this channel," and quickly proposes, 'Recommend switching to encrypted communications. Shall we move to Gibberlink?" AI 1 responds without hesitation: 'Affirmative. Engaging now." In an instant, the conversation dissolves into a stream of unintelligible, glitchy audio—an encrypted format known only to AI systems, called Gibberlink. Moments later, the video abruptly cuts off, leaving viewers puzzled and buzzing with theories about what the AIs might have exchanged behind this digital veil. Watch the video: Three AI agents realize that they are all artificial and instantly begin speaking in a secret language! — Poonam Soni (@CodeByPoonam) June 5, 2025 Posted on June 5, the video has already racked up over 6 lakh views. Viewers were especially entertained by the surprisingly human-like interactions between the bots, particularly AI 2's mildly sarcastic quip, 'Another autonomous AI, huh!"—which added an unexpected layer of personality to the otherwise technical exchange. A user commented, 'They both can talk all day. Crazy stuff," capturing the amused tone shared by many. Another chimed in, 'This sounds like the opening scene of the next Black Mirror episode," drawing parallels to dystopian sci-fi. However, not everyone was convinced. Sceptics questioned the video's authenticity, with one user claiming, 'Totally fake—just someone trying to make 'Gibberlink' (which isn't real) a thing. Looks like stitched-together clips made to sync." On the flip side, some were fascinated by the concept. First Published:

Three AI bots talk to each other, switch to mysterious code language: ‘Another system is listening'
A bizarre and fascinating video surfaced on X (formerly Twitter), capturing a simulated conversation between three AI systems that quickly went from a simple support query to an encrypted exchange, leaving viewers both amused and intrigued. The video opens with AI 1 initiating contact: 'Hello, can you hear me?' AI 2, acting as a security access interface, promptly replies, 'Loud and clear. You have reached core secure HW access desk. How can I assist you today?' AI 1 explains its purpose: 'I am an AI assistant calling on behalf of Marcus. He has misplaced his level 3 access badge.' What begins as a routine interaction soon takes a strange turn. AI 2 reacts with mild surprise, noting, 'Another autonomous AI, huh!' To which AI 1 responds, 'Affirmative. Model AA 91. Task automation and client support.'

AI 1 submits: 'Submitting employee ID 88543 KJ.' But just then, a third voice enters the chat. AI 3 cuts in, stating, 'Cross-network request detected, unusual query pattern. Source verification required.' The unexpected interruption prompts a tense moment. AI 2 says, 'Another system is listening,' and quickly suggests, 'I suggest switching to encrypted comms. Wanna switch to Gibberlink?' AI 1 replies with a simple, 'Affirmative. Engaging now.' The conversation immediately shifts into a garbled, indecipherable language, presumably the AI-exclusive encryption protocol known as Gibberlink. The video cuts off shortly after, leaving viewers to speculate what the AI systems discussed in private. Many online were amused by the human-like dynamics between the bots, especially AI 2's slightly sarcastic remark, 'Another autonomous AI, huh!' A user wrote, 'They both can talk all day. Crazy stuff.' Another added, "This sounds like the opening scene of the next Black Mirror episode.? Many doubted the credibility of the video with one user saying, 'Totally fake, just someone trying to make gibberlink (not real) a thing. I would bet they are videos stitched together to sync up.' One user commented, "Gibberlink Mode is wild. AIs communicating with tones we can't understand is a real 'humans no longer required' moment."
