What if the law recognized nature, animals, and robots, not just humans and corporations, as legal persons? Joshua Gellers explores the tensions, possibilities, and real-world consequences of extending personhood across the more-than-human world. This thought-provoking talk asks who, or what, should hold rights, receive protection, and have a voice in our shared future.
Speaker:Professor Joshua Gellers, Inaugural Faculty Fellow for Artificial Intelligence at the University of North Florida and IAS Visiting Research Fellow to the University of Surrey
Discussant:Dr Iyan Offor, Assistant Professor in environmental law and founding leader of the Multispecies Collective, University of Birmingham
