Executive summary: Data gaps in AI training related to animal welfare could lead to misaligned AGI systems that perpetuate or exacerbate animal suffering, necessitating efforts to address these gaps through synthetic data generation and other means.
Key points:
LLMs trained on internet data lack first-hand animal perspectives, potentially leading to misalignment on animal welfare issues.
Future AGI/ASI systems may continue practices causing animal suffering due to internalized human preferences and incomplete data.
Synthetic data from animal perspectives could improve LLM empathy towards animals, but implementation challenges exist.
Strengthening neural connections between animal-related terms and welfare topics may help, but risks overcompensation.
Generalizing animal suffering data to new or hypothetical species remains a challenge.
Research is needed to determine effective methods for addressing animal welfare data gaps in AI training.
