Summary
This article explores the Earth Species Project, which aims to decode animal communication by analyzing vast datasets of vocalizations and behaviors in species like crows, whales, and rodents. AI advancements are enabling scientists to understand animal distress or needs better, which could strengthen animal rights arguments. However, the potential misuse of AI in factory farming, where it might be used to exploit animals by modifying their behaviors for efficiency, is also a concern.
