The purr-suit of happiness: a tale of three kittens robots, humans, cats, and AI
The purr-suit of happiness: a tale of three kittens robots, humans, cats, and AI
This paper showcases Cat Royale, an exploration of the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on animal happiness situated at the intersection of Art, Computer Science, and Animal Welfare. We argue for the inclusion of non-human actors when designing autonomous systems, as animals increasingly interact with them. In this endeavour, we emphasise multidisciplinarity when designing trustworthy autonomous systems. To design, implement, and deploy such systems, diverse voices must be heard. Finally, by highlighting parallels between Cat Royale's animal-robot interactions and human-AI interactions, this project invites reflections on the trustworthiness, risks, and the price we might pay for AI.

Abstract
This paper showcases Cat Royale, an exploration of the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on animal happiness situated at the intersection of Art, Computer Science, and Animal Welfare. We argue for the inclusion of non-human actors when designing autonomous systems, as animals increasingly interact with them. In this endeavour, we emphasise multidisciplinarity when designing trustworthy autonomous systems. To design, implement, and deploy such systems, diverse voices must be heard. Finally, by highlighting parallels between Cat Royale's animal-robot interactions and human-AI interactions, this project invites reflections on the trustworthiness, risks, and the price we might pay for AI.
