You sound very familiar

It looks like a scene from a dystopian sci-fi film. If two devices talking to each other in human language wasn’t enough, wait until you see them communicate in a way only they understand. The video (below) of two bots, switching from English to what sounds like gibberish to humans, has gone viral on social media. The bots communicated in machine-only language after they realized both of them were AI talking to each other. The hotel chatbot suggested switching to Gibberlink, a secret mode of communication. It can be heard saying, “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?” After that, the two AI bots began speaking on what sounded like an old dial-up internet. It seemed as though they had adopted a secret language of their own, similar to what people do when they don’t want others to understand what they are saying. The AI bots use beeps, codes, or signals instead of words, raising concerns among people. A viewer said, “Wild! The implications may not be quite obvious but it’s in the realm of spine-chilling.” “This is honestly amazing! And a little frightening!” said another.

Gibberlink mode is an AI communication technique in which two AI systems alternate between a secret language exclusively used by robots. Boris Starkov and Anton Pidkuiko created complex technobabble to enable sound-based data transmission between unconnected devices. It is claimed that Gibber links are error-proof and audible even in noisy settings. This transition, facilitated by Gibberlink Mode, is designed to optimize AI-to-AI interactions by enabling agents to communicate in a protocol tailored for machine efficiency. This scenario brings to mind an episode of Seinfeld titled “The Understudy,” in which Elaine becomes uneasy as nail salon technicians converse in Korean. While funny in a situation comedy, the discomfort of being excluded from a conversation is genuine. Similarly, when machines communicate in a “secret language,” it raises questions about transparency and control.

We often assume that technology exists to serve us, but what happens when it starts talking in ways we can’t understand? Curiosity is key in navigating the unknown, yet when AI operates behind a veil of machine-to-machine communication, it challenges our ability to ask the right questions. If employees hesitate to speak up about AI’s role in decision-making, we risk falling into a pattern of blind trust. Who is accountable when AI makes a mistake in an environment where human intervention is minimal? Without curiosity driving us to question AI’s actions, we risk entering a world where AI influences decisions, but no one really knows how. When employees don’t understand how AI reaches decisions, they are less likely to trust it. This mirrors a fundamental issue in leadership: When people don’t feel heard, engagement drops. If AI becomes an unseen force making critical calls, trust in the workplace will suffer—just as it does when leaders fail to communicate their reasoning effectively.
