Abstract

Intelligent technology is radically transforming human-technology-world relations. This essay reflects on the future of the Buddhist path in the age of AI in three movements. The first sounds a cautionary note, focusing on the digitally mediated attention economy and risks of offshoring intelligent human practices to AI. The second and third movements strike explicitly constructive tones. The second imagines how Buddhist scholarship and practice might be positively supplemented by the use of AI tools. The final movement considers the possibility of a Buddhist reorientation of the science-technology-society relationship and will enjoin epistemic humility in fostering any AI-assisted turning of the wheel of the Dharma.
