While user-centered design approaches stemming from the human-computer interaction (HCI) field have notably improved welfare of companion, service, and zoo animals, their application in farm animal settings remains limited. This shortfall has catalyzed emergence animal-computer (ACI), a discipline extending technology’s reach to multispecies user base involving both animals humans. Despite significant strides other sectors, adaptation HCI ACI (collectively HACI) welfare—particularly for dairy cows, swine, poultry—lags behind. Our paper explores potential HACI within precision livestock farming (PLF) artificial intelligence (AI) enhance individual address unique challenges these settings. It underscores necessity transitioning productivity-focused animal-centered methods, advocating paradigm shift that emphasizes as integral sustainable practices. Emphasizing ‘One Welfare’ approach, this discussion highlights how integrating technologies not only benefits health, productivity, overall well-being but also aligns with broader societal, environmental, economic benefits, considering pressures farmers face. perspective is based on insights one-day workshop held June 24, 2024, which focused advancing welfare.
