AI, Animals, & Digital Minds NYC 2025, building on AIADM London and AIA Bay Area earlier this year, is a two-day unconference exploring the intersection of AI and sentient nonhumans, both biological (i.e. animals) and potentially artificial.

Taking place in Manhattan on the 9th and 10th of October – just before EAG NYC 2025, and only a 15 min walk away – AIADM will bring together thought leaders with backgrounds in philosophy, animal welfare science, industry, AI ethics/safety, and government/policy.

The participant-led unconference will host up to 120 attendees. Session formats include: 

• Lightning Talks (Apply to speak here by September 15!)
• Participant-Driven Unconference Discussions  
• Meetups:
  • Wild Animal Welfare
  • Digital Sentience
  • Farmed Animal Welfare
  • Project Pitching to Funders

Confirmed speakers and talks include:

• Bob Fischer - Power-Seeking Theorems and AI Welfare
• Oscar Horta - The Importance of Future Simple Minds
• Adrià Moret - The Non-Human Welfare Alignment Project
