Join us on Wednesday, March 25, at 9 a.m. in LSC 202 for the Bioethics Breakfast Club featuring: Engineering with and for Non-Human Animals With Ted Pavlic, SOLS & Computing and Augmented Intelligence, Darshan Karwat, Future of Innovation in Society, and Nate Upham, SOLS |
| Human animals are not the only tool users and structure builders. Non-human animals of all kinds—from ants and bees to bowerbirds and chimpanzees—demonstrate the use of tools and the building of complex structures. Human animals have long had close relationships with non-human animals, but have also historically engineered systems and structures in ways that have had significant negative impacts on them, leading to dislocation, death, and even extinction. This session explores what engineering for non-human animal thriving could look like. Could human and non-human animal engineers collaborate? What might such partnerships produce? Could this be a path to technological innovation that promotes animal well-being for individuals, species, and even ecosystems? |
