Thanks for that excellent summary, Max. One area I haven’t seen addressed to date is the potential impact of AI on commensal rodents that are considered pests. I like to imagine that a device such as the Rae robot <https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/opencv/rae-0/description> might be trained to effectively track comings and goings of unwelcome critters, identifying entry points and issuing instructions for effective exclusion, helping avert use of cruel devices like glue traps. Wish I had the skill to implement something like that. Would love to hear from anyone who does ;-)
Cheers Stephen, that’s really interesting! Taking your example, I can also imagine people finding ways to use this tech to e.g. track down and kill rodents in their homes more efficiently, so definitely agree this is an important area to explore in more detail.
