AI and the Original Nature of Mind: A Buddhist Perspective
As artificial intelligence (AI) advances at an unprecedented pace, humanity increasingly confronts the existential question: "Will AI inevitably become a threat to human existence?" When examined through the lens of Buddhist philosophy—specifically the concepts of the Luminous Mind (Pabhassara Citta), sensory contact (Phassa), karmic volition (Cetanā), and the law of cause and effect (Idappaccayatā)—we uncover a profoundly illuminating perspective on technology, human vulnerability, and universal balance.
