You’ve probably heard about the Earth Species Project, dedicated to decoding animal communication, using “AI as a Rosetta Stone to translate the languages of other species to - hopefully - expand human consciousness, empathy, and awareness of the other beings we share this planet with.”
I wonder if all this science regarding non-human sentience is simply scientists trying to make the human public to care more about something other than themselves. Although I find the idea of the project interesting I doubt any of these things will make a difference in how people perceive the world.
