Join us at the frontiers of non-human welfare

“I loved how the conference brought together numerous groups that don't typically interact. Animal advocates could meet and discuss topics with academics studying precision livestock farming and philosophers researching animal consciousness & digital minds.”

“I found that the unconference sessions led to real, tangible project ideas, and I left feeling like we're on the cusp of something huge for animal welfare!”

“We presented our vision to map the most important sources of farm animal suffering over the next few years... The audience's enthusiasm and interest in our work were truly motivating.”

“The AIADM unconference was full of interesting people and interesting ideas. By putting different disciplines in the room together, Sentient Futures are helping animal and AI safety advocates think about problems that are neglected and unusual, interesting and important.”

“The most valuable part for me was the 1-on-1s. I've found people with expertise on things I need help with, in projects I've set out to do. I've met a lot of people and learnt a lot about digital minds welfare and other kinds of sentience, which is something I wouldn't explore on my own. It was useful.”

“AI has the potential to affect nonhuman animals everywhere, and over the past two years, this conference has played a key role in accelerating research about this important and neglected topic. Highly recommended for anyone with an interest in AI ethics or animal ethics.”
