"Three distinctive characteristics of contemporary society can exacerbate this issue: the pervasive use of social media, anthropomorphizing of animal behavior, and disconnection from nature."

I think the most important message here is that we need #mediaLiteracy.

Unfortunately, the trend of #alienation from nature, #anthropomorphising etc. began long before #AI: with the #instagramisation of life. Now it's the mass of #AISlop.

Which is different from #AI as #ML. In our nature park we try to reconnect children with nature via technics: on excursions in the forest etc. they may use their ID-Apps (which work with AI!) ... and many know more about species than their parents.
