Navigating AI-Animal Alignment
This commentary responds to Coghlan and Parker's commentary on our paper "AI Alignment: The Case for Including Animals" (2025). We clarify that our emphasis on "basic" alignment with animal welfare in large language models reflected pragmatic constraints rather than principled limits. Consequently, we agree that it is valuable to aim for varying degrees of alignment with animal welfare depending on the context of the AI application. We argue that…

AI alignment efforts and proposals try to make AI systems ethical, safe and beneficial for humans by making them follow human intentions, preferences or values. However, these proposals largely disregard the vast majority of moral patients in existence: non-human animals. AI systems aligned through proposals which largely disregard concern for animal welfare pose significant near-term and long-term animal welfare risks. In this paper, we argue th…

However, currently it has only been attempted to align the values of AI systems with human values. It is argued here that this ought to be extended to the values of nonhuma…
