Dateline December 12, 2025 - Today, we have a special edition of Rossifari Zoo News featuring Chelsey James, author of The Reality of AI Animal Content, an article featured on the Sedgwick County Zoo homepage that really spoke to me. We talk about the effect of AI animal content on zoos, on conservation, and on the public at large. We also discuss whether AI can ever be used constructively in the conservation field given the current environmental impact it has. Click here for the article: https://scz.org/blog/the-reality-of-ai-animal-contentROSSIFARI LINKS: Rossifari.com Patreon.com/rossifari to support the pod@rossifari on socials @rossifaripod on TikTok Nature DisturbedMother Nature is one weird ladyListen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify
