https://www.mdpi.com/2409-9287/6/2/31

This article discusses the neglected risk that AI systems may pose existential and suffering threats to nonhuman animals. It argues that the AI value alignment problem has focused only on human values, which is speciesist. The paper contends that AI should also be aligned with animal values, examines challenges in value extraction and aggregation, and explores approaches for integrating animal values into AI systems.
