by AI researchers will examine how people with their pets could “speak” because the first scientific institution that focuses on the examination of the animals of the animals is committed.
The Jeremy Coller Center of £ 4 million for animal receivers, which is based on the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), will start his work to explore non-human animals on September 30, using experts from a number of disciplines.
One includes your projects to examine how AI can help people speak to their pets – and what could go wrong and how to avoid the potential dangers.
Professor Jonathan Birch, the first director of the center, told The Guardian: “We like that our pets show human characteristics and, with the emergence of AI, the way your pet can speak to you is brought to a whole new level.
“But AI often generates invented answers that please the user instead of being anchored in objective reality. This can be a disaster if it is applied to the well -being of the pets.
“We urgently need framework conditions for responsible, ethical AI uses in terms of animals. At the moment there are completely lack of regulation in this area. The center wants to develop ethical guidelines that are recognized worldwide.”
The center will work together with non -governmental organizations to develop instructions and research that could then be used for globally.
Jeff Sebo, the director of the Center for Environmental and Animal Welfare at New York University, told the newspaper that topics of the animal recommendation and well-being, the effects of AI on animals and the attitude of the public towards animals are “among the most important, most difficult and neglected problems that we are confronted as society”.
“People share the world with millions of species and quintillions of individual animals, and we affect animals all over the world, whether we like it or not,” he added.
Professor Kristin Andrews, one of the trustees of the new center, said she believed that the new project could even answer the question of human consciousness and what it is, what it is as the greatest in science.
She said: “We still don’t understand what makes people aware of or why someone starts or stops being aware. But we know that the way to get answers is to study simple systems first: science has made great progress in genomics and in medicine through studying simple organisms.”
