FORTHCOMING BOOK - 2026 - The AI Buddha
Buddhism is perhaps the best religion to assist the world as it now enters an age of artificial intelligence AI. The whole idea of superintelligence is not a new phenomenon to Buddhism as the Buddha has always been viewed as a superintelligent being. This superintelligence, however, was characterised by wisdom and compassion.
The same cannot be said of all current forms of AI.
Technologists are predicting that in 2029 AI intelligence will be as good as human intelligence. Most importantly, come the year 2045, AI will surpass human intelligence. This era in our history is being called The Singularity.
This is a revolutionary point of no return.
By then robots will be doing all, or most of, the manual labour, creating a worldwide existential crisis that could possibly offer an opportunity for an increase in spiritual intelligence (SQ), that which in Buddhist terms, is the development of wisdom and compassion contributing to an enlightened society.
For Buddhists a logical system such as computation, which lies at the heart of AI, is incapable of capturing the whole truth – Dharma.
Enlightenment is beyond an intelligence that follows rules, conforms, and calculates. Amakening is rather about the ending of the emotional roots of unwholesome, harmful states of mind and is as hard to conceive as what The Singularity will actually be.
