Jacy Reese Anthis is a sociologist, statistician, and co-founder of the Sentience Institute.
His 2018 book, The End of Animal Farming, 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' current projects focus on the technical development and strategic management of artificial intelligence. He is currently a
PhD Fellow at The University of Chicago.
His 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 from Huntsville, Texas and lives in Chicago with
his wife Kelly Anthis
and their rescued dogs Apollo and Dionysus.
