Our Current Project
We are engaged in a 3-month project to:
Map the landscape of Buddhist institutions and communities and their current engagement with AI
Hear from Buddhist voices about their hopes and concerns for AI
Build the foundation for a coalition of socially engaged Buddhists that can raise the salience of AI safety & ethics and advocate for more humane AI futures

What's Next
We envision this initiative laying the foundation for future impactful projects at the intersection of Buddhism and AI, such as:
Co-creating a statement from global Buddhist communities on possible pathways toward humane AI
Facilitating meaningful dialogue between Buddhist stakeholders and AI safety experts & policymakers
Undertaking technical research projects on how to skillfully use AI to uphold the Dharma (e.g., through training Buddhist AI models)
Enabling grassroots work to support global well-being in the face of transformative AI

Why Buddhism and AI?
We believe AI is likely to dramatically transform society, and that everyone should be involved in helping shape the future for the better. Wisdom traditions have a lot to contribute to the conversation. Buddhism, in particular, offers powerful philosophical and ethical frameworks for understanding intelligence, agency, attention, and other concepts fundamental to today’s AI systems. Buddhism also offers powerful practices and teachings on mindfulness and mind training, many of which may offer significant benefit to individuals if society undergoes a period of rapid change. Right now, the Buddhist and AI communities are relatively separate; this initiative aims to bridge the gap.
