In this important episode, we interview Sam Tucker, Executive Director at Open Paws, an open-source non-profit AI organization. Sam explains how current AI systems exhibit bias in favor of factory farming and discrimination against non-human species, effectively promoting speciesism and cruelty to animals. To counter this, Open Paws collaborates with the AI industry to remove such bias and works with animal welfare groups to ethically analyze their data to operate at a foundational level regarding AI training. Sam has extensive experience in this area with his previous for-profit venture VEG3, a SaaS tool for vegans and vegan businesses. By using their dedicated vegan AI, offering 24/7 access to unlimited personalized responses and 50,000+ vegan resources. Vegans get asked the same questions "where do you get your protein from" so to avoid burnout this tool would be a great companion that doesn't also get emotional when the same questions keep coming up. We discuss the future of AI and the organizations developing AI that can help interpret animal communication and promote interspecies understanding. Overall, this is an eye-opening look at reducing AI bias against non-human animals and using technology to advance animal welfare. Sam provides thoughtful perspectives on challenges in this emerging field and presents Open Paws' approach of open, ethical AI development. Any AI ethics or animal rights follower will find great value in this interview.
