I had the privilege of attending the "ICMR-DHR Sponsored Workshop on Applications of 3Rs and Alternatives to Animal Testing." The discussions centered on sophisticated methods that not only advance research but also minimize the reliance on animal testing. We explored innovative technologies such as predictive computer models, including SAR (in silico) modeling with Schrödinger Inc., and alternative models like zebrafish and Drosophila. Listening to esteemed experts in the field was profoundly inspiring, illustrating how scientific progress can harmonize with ethical considerations. I eagerly anticipate the transformative impact these advancements will have within the research community! #Animaltestingalternatives #ethicalscience #Research

Have you always dreamed of talking to your pets? This week in our AI news: Jane Lawton, Impact Manager at the "Earth Species Project," discusses an experiment where a machine and a bird engage in a dialogue to understand animal communication. Research has discovered complex communication in plants and animals, such as Amazonian turtles emitting over 200 sound frequencies. The project aims to classify animal sounds using AI to map and understand communication patterns between species. The first dialogue between a machine and a bird is intended to understand communication mechanisms. Watch Jane Lawton's presentation video.

In an exciting new study, researchers from Osaka Metropolitan University have found that the tiny bluestreak cleaner wrasse may be "self-aware"! This little tropical fish was observed using mirrors to check its body size and make decisions on whether to engage with other fish. 🤯 This discovery challenges what we know about animal intelligence and suggests that even small-brained species can possess metacognitive abilities like self-assessment and planning.

The ethics of AI is advancing in many fields of application. Interspecies Internet believes questions of ethics must go hand-in-hand with approaching technological interfaces and decoding non-human animal signals 🙌 Our trustee Diana Reiss explores in this article 👉
🐝 Since von Frisch made the breakthrough discovery of the bee waggle dance, through to Roger Payne's whale songs that sparked a movement, Jane Goodall's pioneering work with chimps, and Irene Pepperberg's groundbreaking parrot studies—scientists have been gradually unveiling the complexity of animal communication. 🗣️ 🤖 Today, with AI opening new possibilities, our trustee Dr. Diana Reiss and other leading researchers are debating critical ethical questions generated by advances in the field. 👉 A recent piece in Nautilus Magazine highlights these pressing issues, examining the implications of merely understanding animal communication versus engaging in a dialogue with them. In other words, if we successfully decode another species' communication, should we talk back? 👀 What do you think? Do other species want to have a conversation with us?

Researchers from the Cluster of Excellence Collective Behaviour at the University of Konstanz and the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior have developed 3D-MuPPET 🐦, a groundbreaking computer vision framework for tracking and analyzing the 3D poses of up to 10 pigeons in real-time using multiple cameras 📷. This innovative markerless method works in both indoor and wild environments 🌳, enabling detailed study of animal behavior without human intervention. The framework represents a significant advancement in animal posture tracking and behavioral analysis, with potential applications across various species and environments. This milestone paves the way for non-invasive, large-scale research on collective animal behavior. The related research was published in the International Journal of Computer Vision (IJCV) 📝. #AnimalBehavior #ComputerVision #MachineLearning #Research #Innovation #Wildlife

I am frankly amused by the contortions of some colleagues to differentiate humans from other animals, or “intelligent” animals from others. A few years ago, at a meeting of animal behavior experts (which I am certainly not), I discovered that they distinguished between “learning” and “conditioning”. Not that they had a very precise definition for either term, but it was clear that, for them, what can be learned by “conditioning” was not learning. Why does this matter?
