AI progress is exciting but should not forget about animals! In our recent Nature correspondence we argue that it is necessary and urgent to include ethical principles regarding animals in AI alignment to avoid large scale intended or unintended harms. Check it out: rdcu.be/eDyWj #AnimalWelfare #AI

Deadline is 22.11., but I think these calls will be recurring annually.
