Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Colin Allen (Animal Emotion)
Q: What can we understand about artificial intelligence in comparison with animal thinking?
AI systems are fundamentally different from how animals work and do not possess active minds or needs.
Colin Allen (Animal Emotion)
Q: What do you see as kind of ultimate goals or implications in studying animal cognition?
Studying animal cognition is intrinsically interesting and can have implications for understanding our own emotions, cognition, and consciousness.
Colin Allen (Animal Emotion)
Q: What emotions seem to be the easiest to study and maybe what ones are particularly really tough to unpack?
The easiest ones to study are those that are easiest to produce, like fear, while emotions like joy are much harder to generate and study.
Colin Allen (Animal Emotion)
Q: What are the upsides to us having that quality when we try to study other animals that think and feel?
It gives us a source of ideas about what might be going on in the animals, but we have to be careful not to anthropomorphize.
Colin Allen (Animal Emotion)
Q: Can you tell me the major different kinds of approaches that people take to at least infer and study the minds that animals have?
There are different tracks and somewhat of a pendulum swing, but also some convergence between biological approaches and psychological approaches.
