We aim to build a multidisciplinary field focusing on how ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE can positively impact NON-HUMANS

AI, Animals, & Digital Minds 2025 will bring together leading minds in London to explore the intersection of AI, animals, and digital minds – and to work together to help the future go better for all sentient beings.

On Friday, expect a classic conference day with talks, panels, and workshops delivered by leaders in the field. At the weekend, it’s a smaller unconference where you set the agenda – pitch topics, lead discussions, and dive into what matters most.

Testimonials

  • "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!"

    - Aaron Boddy, Chief Operations Officer, Shrimp Welfare Project

  • "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."

    - Jeff Sebo, Director, NYU Center for Mind, Ethics, and Policy

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

    - Richie Manandhar-Richardson, Data Scientist & Researcher, Bryant Research & Good Growth Co.

  • “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.”

    Wladimir J. Alonso, Researcher and Director, Center for Welfare Metrics
