AGI & Animals Debate Week (March 23–29, 2026) is an EA Forum debate week centered on the statement:

If AGI goes well for humans, it’ll go well for animals.

The final vote at the end of the week is below:

This tag is for posts and discussions that engage with this question, including arguments, cruxes, and related considerations about how advanced AI systems may affect non-human animals.

The topic focuses on a relatively neglected question: how outcomes for animals may differ in worlds where AGI is successfully aligned with human values. Key considerations include whether human-aligned AGI would adequately account for animal welfare, how transformative AGI is expected to be, and what a “good” outcome for animals entails in post-AGI futures.

This tag can be applied to:

• Posts directly addressing the debate statement

• Analyses of AGI’s potential impact on animals

• Arguments about moral consideration of animals in AI-aligned futures

• Reflections on strategy, prioritization, or advocacy related to animals in transformative AI scenarios
