Buddhist Geeks|BG 137: Artificial Wisdom Episode
We're back again with Artificial Intelligence researcher
and Zen-dabbler, Ben Goertzel. We continue our exploration of some of
the major themes in his non-fiction story "Enlightenment 2.0". This
precipitates a conversation about whether consciousness is a result of
the mechanisms of the brain, or whether it is fundamental. And
connected to that, what are the ethical implications of creating an
artificial intelligence, if we do indeed see it as having
BuddhaNature?
Finally, Ben shares what he has discovered while exploring the notion
of "artificial wisdom"--including what difference there is between
intelligence and wisdom. He also talks about the seeming
incompatibility between intense scientific thinking and enlightenment,
and how that might be rectified by creating a more wise and intelligent
super-mind.
This is part 2 of a two-part series. Listen to part 1, Enlightenment 2.0.
