We believe that all sentient beings deserve to be protected from unnecessary harm, and the greatest factor in achieving this goal will be how well AI aligns with these values.
Our outlook on AI’s future is neither overly optimistic nor pessimistic—we recognize that AI holds immense power to create both positive and negative impacts. The outcome will depend entirely on our actions as humans. This is why we believe that AI ethics and alignment must go beyond academic discussions and be actively shaped and practiced by a diverse, passionate community.
We envision a community that extends beyond just researchers and developers to include anyone who cares about how AI affects sentient life. By bringing together a wide range of voices, we can ensure that the development of AI aligns with the values of compassion and respect for all beings.
We believe that open collaboration is the key to our success and our most significant advantage against industries that use AI to exploit animals. These industries may have the resources to invest heavily in computing power for their own purposes, but we have something equally powerful: a dedicated community of passionate individuals willing to collaborate and contribute their time and skills toward creating AI for the right purposes.
While we may not match others in compute budgets, we can compete with the quality and volume of the datasets we use to train our AI and the passion and expertise of those building it. As computing costs continue to decrease, the true differentiators will be the richness of the data and the talent of those shaping the AI. Our community’s drive to build better, more ethical AI gives us a unique edge.
That’s why we believe that with your support in building animal-aligned AI, we will achieve animal liberation within our lifetime. By working together, sharing knowledge, and aligning our values, we can ensure that AI becomes a force for good—one that helps to protect all sentient beings and makes a more compassionate world possible.
