New Centre Uses AI to Help Us ‘Talk’ to Pets

What's the story:

Scientists at London School of Economics are starting a new research center to study animal consciousness and explore how AI could help humans "talk" with their pets. The center will also create safety rules to prevent AI from giving fake answers about pet feelings and needs.

Key Takeaways:

  • New Research Center: The Jeremy Coller Centre for Animal Sentience opens September 30th at London School of Economics with £4 million funding.

  • AI Pet Translation: Scientists will explore how AI can help humans communicate with pets like dogs, cats, and rabbits

  • Safety Concerns: Researchers worry AI might give fake answers that please owners instead of showing real pet needs

  • No Rules Yet: There are currently no regulations for using AI with animals, which could be dangerous

  • Beyond Pets: The center will also study farm animals, wildlife, and even insects to understand animal consciousness

Why It's Important:

This research could change how we understand and care for animals. But without proper rules, AI pet apps might lie about animal feelings, leading to neglect or harm to pets we love.

SpaceX May Invest $2 Billion in Musk’s xAI Startup

What's the story: 

SpaceX might put $2 billion into Elon Musk’s AI company, xAI, as part of a huge $5 billion funding round. This would be SpaceX’s first big bet on xAI, which already helps Starlink’s customer service with its chatbot Grok, even though Grok has sparked controversy.

Key Takeaways:

  • SpaceX may invest $2B in xAI.

  • It’s part of a $5B equity raise.

  • Grok chatbot helps Starlink service.

  • Musk often connects his companies.

  • Grok caused trouble with offensive posts.

Why It’s Important:

This shows how Musk links his companies to boost big ideas. But mixing them means problems — like Grok’s bad posts — could spread fast if AI isn’t handled carefully.

UN Creates AI Avatars to Teach About Refugees

What's the story:

A UN research group made two AI avatars — Amina, a refugee from Sudan, and Abdalla, a soldier to help people learn about refugee life. The experiment got mixed reactions, as some feel real refugees should tell their own stories.

Key Takeaways:

  • UNU-CPR created Amina & Abdalla avatars.

  • They teach people about refugee issues.

  • The project is just an experiment for now.

  • Some think real refugees should speak instead.

  • Avatars might help raise funds in the future.

Why It’s Important:

This sparks debate about using AI to share real human struggles. While tech can teach people, it raises big questions about whose voices get heard — and whose stories should stay real, not virtual.
