SUMMARY:Documentary Screenings: "AI & Animals" and SEAntience
DESCRIPTION:After enjoying a final day at the AVA Summit — and/or hopefully taking part in the Toronto Animal Rights March — you’re warmly invited to join us at The Lab | Vegutainment Centre (just a 7-minute stroll from the Sheraton)\, the public-facing extension of the Wishbone Animal Rights Lab family\, for a screening of two powerful short documentaries produced by Animal Ethics. \nWe’re pleased to welcome Aditya Karanam\, Animal Ethics’ Outreach Coordinator in Asia\, who will introduce the films and take your questions. He will also be presenting at the conference on May 22nd\, so be sure to catch his talks! \nThe evening features “AI & Animals: A Documentary”\, which explores the potential impacts of AI on non-human animals and how advocates can act proactively\, and “SEAntience”\, which delves into the sentience of marine beings through insights from leading voices around the globe in science and philosophy. \nTogether\, these films invite us to reflect not only on the future we are shaping\, but on who is included within it — shining a light on the often-overlooked lives of non-human animals. \nBy bridging science\, philosophy\, and advocacy\, they deepen our understanding of sentience\, responsibility\, and the far-reaching consequences of human innovation. They remind us that progress is not neutral — it carries the power either to perpetuate harm or to foster compassion on a global scale. \nBut most importantly\, they encourage us to recognize and respect the lives of all sentient beings. \nAfter the screenings\, you’re very welcome to stay for music\, decompression\, and connection as we wind down together and bid one another a fond farewell — until next year\, of course. 🙂
