Artificial intelligence (AI) applications are increasingly influential across various socio-ecological domains, including agriculture, where ethical concerns are paramount. One critical area involves using AI for automated pain detection (APD) in farmed animals, a technology aimed at supposedly improving animal welfare by identifying pain through methods such as facial recognition. This short paper addresses the ethical implications of APD, noting its current use and potential expansion in agriculture. Despite its promise, APD’s effectiveness and validity remain contentious, with significant ethical issues stemming from data quality, algorithm reliability, and the deep ties between APD development and the animal agriculture industry. Moreover, fundamental philosophical questions about the nature of pain and the limitations of detecting it automatically pose intrinsic ethical challenges. These include the risk of oversimplifying animal welfare. The paper calls for comprehensive ethical evaluations of APD technologies before implementing them increasingly in agriculture.
