What happens when you ask Claude vs GPT about factors to consider when getting a dog or choosing what to eat? We will dive in to testing these chatbots for their level of animal consideration and discuss our findings.

​Dress Code: Casual

​Location: Hayes Valley

Who should come: anyone working in or interested in the intersection of AI/emerging technologies and animal welfare. Our core community focuses on farmed animals, but we welcome anyone interested in other categories such as research, wild, and companion animals.

​Disclaimer: While we encourage anyone to participate, this is NOT an AI-only networking session.
