As AI becomes an increasingly unavoidable feature of our lives, how can Buddhist wisdom support us and inform how we think about and interact with it? How can we uphold our ethical and spiritual values given the speed and power with which AI is growing and taking over every aspect of the ordinary world? How can we remain good bodhisattvas, engaged in the world: watchful, practicing patient observation, and ready to ease or help in small or large ways as the opportunity arises?

Join us on Thursday, November 12 at 2 p.m. ET for a discussion with Buddhist priest and meditation teacher Lewis Richmond to discuss how Buddhist values can help us make sense of and respond wisely to issues exacerbated by AI, including deepfakes, the endless barrage of a questionably trustworthy newscycle, and unhealthy attachment to or caused by technology. We’ll also discuss what intelligence and aliveness means, and the supreme importance of kindness. 

This conversation previews an upcoming 11-day email program covering these topics and offering contemplative practices to go along. Join the event and learn more about this series of videos.
