About this event
Neuroscientist Dr Julie Elie, who works on zebra finch vocal communication, asks how far machine learning can take us towards decoding animal calls - and what we would owe animals if it worked. Discussants join from the philosophy of risk and precaution. In person on the LSE campus and livestreamed.
Why we picked it
Animal-communication AI is having a moment; this is the free, evidence-first version of the conversation rather than the headline version.
