ABSTRACT Fear of death, quest for permanence and desire to escape biology have been at the heart of many religions. Notions of technological singularity and AI posed by futurists like Ray Kurzweil touch upon that hunger. The historical Buddha, on the other hand, posited impermanence at the very heart of all existence. Focusing on the film Her, this paper will present AI as awakened intelligence. I would like to show that Alan Watts as a Zen master takes the emerging hyper-intelligent AI “Samantha” and others into a Buddhist Bardo, suggesting the possibility of AI as awakened intelligence beyond violence.

人工智能作为唤醒的智力：佛陀，库兹韦尔和她的电影

摘要对死亡的恐惧，对永久性的追求以及逃避生物学的渴望一直是许多宗教的核心。雷·库兹韦尔（Ray Kurzweil）等未来主义者提出的技术奇异性和人工智能的概念触及了这种饥饿感。另一方面，历史悠久的佛陀将无常置于一切存在的核心。重点关注电影《她》，本文将人工智能作为唤醒的智力来展示。我想表明，作为禅宗大师的艾伦·沃茨（Alan Watts）将新兴的超智能AI“ Samantha”和其他人带入了佛教巴多，这暗示了AI可能会超越暴力而唤醒人们的智慧。
