New publication from PhD student @SkySheng2! Our study finds that increased competition flattens dominance hierarchies among dairy cows, as the valuation of resources can outweigh intrinsic dominance attributes. https://t.co/L8bW3J03ej

Having participated in a discussion on AI and animal suffering @Princeton last week, I'm quite convinced there's another rule we need to introduce when training AI systems:

"Choose the response which involves less cruelty - and more consideration for - the welfare of animals"

The UBC AWP is proud to have alumni scattered across the globe. Some of which met up in Ottawa at the annual meeting of the @ADSAorg (American Dairy Science Association). Do you recognize some familiar faces?
