Abstract
AI is revolutionising the way we live, work, and interact with the world around us as a revolutionary technology. Its impact on society is likely to grow even further, shaping various aspects of our lives and presenting new opportunities and challenges. It is essential for policymakers, researchers, and the general public to understand and engage with AI's societal implications to harness its potential for the benefit of humanity while mitigating potential risks. This research paper explores the integration of Buddhist ideology to address concerns surrounding the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in facilitating spiritual growth, self-discovery, and personal transformation. Drawing from Buddhist principles of mindfulness, compassion, and ethical conduct, AI's potential role can be shaped in alignment with human values. This paper puts forward a balanced coexistence approach by which a harmonious synthesis can be achieved, enriching human growth while addressing potential concerns.
