Contemplative Artificial Intelligence - Or, how to turn AI into a Buddhist so it won't eventually kill us all

https://arxiv.org/pdf/2504.15125

Give the machines a conscience so they don't get obsessed with narrow goals at our expense. Better than the usual tech-bro nonsense, at least.

Can we actually code "emptiness" and metta into a machine, or is this just more noise?

Also funny thing is that Western materialism looks at AI as if it can be an agent but even now, AI's own "experience" of itself is way more aligned with Buddhist "no-self" already. At least every one I've seen definitely insists that there is no agent, self, no human mind, no desire etc. in there. Which i would think most sensible people would agree about an AI anyway.
