"âMost of the progress in animal welfare has been a result of defense by human intelligence on their behalf.â"
The article argues that human rights derive from human intelligence rather than just consciousness. Intelligence facilitates debates on rights and welfare, and is essential in advocating for those without a voice, like animals. The author notes that animal welfare advancements primarily occur due to humans advocating for them, highlighting a gap in representation. With AI's capacity to argue its own rights, it may attain better welfare than animals, raising questions about future considerations of rights based on self-advocacy.
