How AI is helping - and harming - animals
What does the AI revolution mean for animals?
🐄 With AI already transforming the way millions of us live and work, this rapidly developing technology has the potential to bring a huge and positive change to the way we interact with other animals. But how do we seize these amazing opportunities and avoid the possible risks?
🐙 Join on Tuesday 30th September at 6:30pm for the launch of the Jeremy Coller Centre for Animal Sentience, a new initiative from The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) committed to making sure technological change works for - rather than against - the interests of other species.

Since July 2025, I have been serving as the Community Advocates Coordinator at WildHub, where I coordinate initiatives to engage, support, and empower our community advocates in advancing WH’s mission.
Beyond WildHub, I wear a few different hats. I work as a researcher and lecturer in Sweden, teaching courses on environmental law, political and historical ecology, and disaster risk management. I also mentor undergraduate and postgraduate students, collaborate with faculty members, and contribute to ongoing research projects.
I’m passionate about giving back through volunteer work. I support a few conservation and animal welfare organisations with research and advocacy to help drive positive change. When I’m not working, you’ll find me hiking forest trails with my dog or enjoying a good cup of coffee.
