Artificial Intelligence is becoming an increasingly unavoidable part of our lives. But that doesn’t mean we have to be controlled by it or fearful of it. The 11-day series of emails for Tricycle subscribers will include reflections and contemplative practices to help us make sense of AI and respond wisely to issues exacerbated by AI, including deepfakes, the endless barrage of a questionably trustworthy news cycle, and unhealthy attachment to or caused by technology. We’ll also discuss what intelligence and aliveness mean, and the supreme importance of kindness. “I'm offering a different kind of engaged Buddhism,” says Richmond. “It’s one that embraces technological change without being pulled down by it or drawn into it too much, and one that allows you to keep a clear, open mind of compassion as you bear witness to this changing world.” The series is free for Tricycle subscribers.
