Earth Species Project's Jane Lawton shares her insights on how artificial intelligence is used to decode animal communication, how new technology challenges human-centric views of intelligence, and how the 'voices' of other species can inform conservation efforts and influence rights-for-nature debates.
Jane Lawton has over 30 years of international experience working with leading organisations focused on sustainable development and nature conservation. Throughout her career, she has explored various pathways to solve the complex puzzle of living sustainably on Earth. She has held senior roles in Asia, Europe, and North America, working with organisations such as Forum for the Future, The B Team, IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature), the Nature Conservancy of Canada, and the Jane Goodall Institute of Canada. She is currently Director of Impact at the Earth Species Project, a non-profit focused on using AI to decode animal communication with the ultimate goal of transforming how humans relate to the rest of nature.
