ACI 2021 Workshop: Technology and Working Animals

Authors Info & Claims
Published:18 May 2022Publication History

ABSTRACT

In this workshop, the participants will engage in discussion about the ethical practices and ramifications of designing and integrating technology into processes with working animals. The discussion will be centered around existing literature and the experiences of the presenters with introducing technology to working canines and the workshop attendees. In order to elicit sound findings from the workshop, breakout sessions will be used to collect experiences and opinions. A specific focus will be placed on the included workshop questions while considering the opportunities for future research.
