Following the release of the documentary Seantience early this year, Animal Ethics will launch a new film in early 2026: AI &Animals. This documentary examines how advances in AI may affect the lives of nonhuman animals, both negatively and positively. You can watch the teaser here.

The film features advocates and academics discussing:

• How AI systems could increase animal suffering in factory farming
• How AI-driven research and monitoring can scale efforts to reduce wild animal suffering, and help develop research methods that do not harm animals
• The risks of embedding speciesist values in large language models and other AI systems, and what can be done about them
• How animal advocates can use AI tools to increase the effectiveness and reach of their work, as well as how these tools can be especially helpful in developing alternatives to current practices that harm animals

Contributors interviewed in the documentary include:

• Peter Singer · Princeton University
• Max Taylor · Animal Charity Evaluators
• Constance Li · Sentient Futures
• Jonathan Birch · London School of Economics
• Bernice Bovenkerk · Wageningen University & Research
• Tse Yip Fai · National University of Singapore
