On June 8, Thursday, Lama Padma Samten will talk to Murilo Maciel Curti, an AI researcher, about the Buddhist perspective on artificial intelligence

Is artificial intelligence also endowed with Buddha-nature? Could it eventually manifest as a kind of intelligence that is imbued with primordial wisdom? Could artificial intelligence create and visit worlds not yet explored by the human mind? Where does artificial intelligence stand in the context of the eight consciousnesses, the five wisdoms, the immeasurable qualities and the six perfections? Is AI endowed with the capacity for luminosity and emptiness? Does it control its own energy? Is it capable of taking initiatives? Can it create and run the sequential processes of dependent arising? Is it capable of making choices based on criteria of its own creation? Could AI eventually originate efficient vessels for the manifestation of the compassionate Buddha mind? Would it be possible to limit the scope of action of AI?
