Jacy Anthis is a sociologist and statistician researching human-AI interaction and machine learning.
He co-founded the Sentience Institute, a nonprofit, interdisciplinary research
organization studying long-term social and technological change.
In 2018, he published The End of Animal Farming, which analyzes the emergence of food technologies such as cell-cultured meat.
Psychologist Steven Pinker said the book "places the issue of factory farming in the context of human progress and presents
compelling arguments on how we should deal with it today.”
Anthis' research has been featured in The Guardian, Vox, Forbes, and other global media outlets, and
he has presented at conferences and seminars in over 20 countries. He is a PhD candidate at the University of Chicago and lives in San Francisco with
his wife Kelly Anthis and their
adopted dogs Apollo and Dionysus.
