The Untold Impact of AI on Non-Human Animals
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming our world, but its effects on non-human animals are often overlooked. Here’s what you need to know:
-
Biased Technology: Large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT often reflect societal biases, neglecting the ethical treatment of animals. They’re more likely to classify animals as property rather than sentient beings.
-
Ethical Blind Spots: Despite recent improvements in AI sensitivity toward animal welfare, major issues like factory farming and animal cruelty remain largely unacknowledged.
-
Changing Paradigms: As LLMs integrate into everyday life—meal planning, smart home devices—their approach to animal ethics can significantly influence consumer behavior and reduction in animal suffering.
-
Future Responsibility: The ongoing development of AI calls for discussions about responsible use and ethical frameworks that prioritize animal welfare alongside human interests.
