Seantience is a short documentary exploring the sentience of aquatic animals, including invertebrates.

The film explores the potential impact of artificial intelligence on the situation of animals—a crucial topic that remains largely undiscussed. It addresses the present and potential use of AI in factory farms and, conversely, in reducing wild animal suffering. It also examines how reducing speciesist attitudes in frontier AI systems can have an impact in the present and the future. Finally, it considers how AI tools could boost our efforts in animal advocacy.
