Examining the Influences on Human-Animal Relationships in the Era of Artificial Intelligence

With the development of biotechnology, artificial intelligence and robotics, animals are not only part of the natural ecology, but also become the object of scientific research. At the same time, global climate change and ecological crisis are reshaping the interaction between humans and animals. This study explores the historical evolution of the relationship between humans and animals, analyzes the changing roles of animals in people's lives under different social and cultural backgrounds, and the impact of technology and environmental factors on this relationship. This study finds that while technological progress has improved productivity and medical research, it has also brought ethical and ecological challenges. In addition, the rise of artificial intelligence and robotic animals provides new ways of companionship and protection, but its impact on traditional animal identity cognition has not been fully resolved. Future research needs to combine primary data to explore how to balance innovation and sustainability in the formulation of animal-related policies to ensure that technological development is coordinated with ecological protection and ethical responsibilities.
