Ethical concerns of Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications in livestock farming

Description

AI-applications in livestock farming are intended to improve performance, efficiency, health and welfare. However, such technological advances also present challenges and risks, including potential to threaten health and welfare. Lessons can be learned from the human medical and wellbeing sectors where any new technology is subject to rigorous quality assurance processes and regulations before being commercially marketed. Therefore, we propose that livestock farming technology should be subject to similar quality assurance protocols and accountability.
