The Nonlinear Library

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Introducing the AI for Animals newsletter, published by Max Taylor on June 23, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Following the success of the AI, Animals, and Digital Minds conference earlier this month, AI for Animals is a new newsletter of resources and updates around the intersection of AI and animals. Each month or so, we'll give a brief overview of a specific topic relating to AI and animals, followed by recent news and other useful resources. While the main focus will be on biological animals, we'll also include resources relevant to digital minds, in recognition of the feasibility of their development and the enormous potential ethical implications. The newsletter will typically comprise the following sections: 1. Overview of a specific AI and animals-related topic 2. Updates 3. Opportunities 4. Recent news 5. Research publications 6. Resources Our first edition (' What AI could mean for animals') provides a broad overview of AI's implications for animals. In future editions, we'll hone in on more specific topics, such as the role of AI in intensive animal farming, its potential to accelerate alternative protein development, and its applications for helping animals living in the wild.
