人工智能时代佛弟子的作用 -人工智能终究可像人类
随着人工智能的发展，人类已迎来第四次工业革命时代。
当今人工智能定义尚未成熟之际，对人工智能的开发，短期内我们多少会感到不安，但从长远来看还是充满期待的。人工智能的初期阶段可能会看到负面作用问题，等到一定时候问题将得到解决的。当问题出现就找到方法解决，这是人类的历史经验。至于人工智能对人类的作用，有一些人相信它将为人类社会带来更富足美好的生活，有一些人则怀有人性丧失的灰色展望。人类若以佛教思想做为精神基础的话，第四次工业革命时代人工智能的作用，一定是肯定的有很好效果。佛教善知识是精神典范，要发挥正能量弘扬佛法，在工作上比较容易接触人工智能的佛教居士更要发挥良好的社会作用。
当我们正视缘起的现实世界，懂得自利利他道理，为人争取幸福安乐时，人工智能的未来也光明灿烂的。中道是佛教的根本立场，空是世间事物的一种特质。要让这个世界变成地狱或变成佛国境土，都在于人的念头上。这个道理同样可应用到人工智能。我们不需恐惧看待人工智能机器人出世，也不要太多的期望。 我们佛弟子只管挺身站出来做好点亮人类心性的工作。当人的心识光明了，人工智能也自然运用在善好的层面上。即使像科幻电影里一样有自行思考、自主学习的强人工智能机器人某日出世，它们也免不了学人的。我们也许从没有憎恨和欲望的人工智能机器人身上，学习到更多的东西。为了迎接这样的时代，我们佛弟子要坚持修持身心，尽心尽力弘扬佛法，努力建设幸福社会。这就是我们佛弟子恒久不变的使命。
Human beings are entering the fourth industrial age with the development of artificial intelligence. Now that the idea of AI has not been established, the development of AI may cause anxiety in the short run, but it may have a more positive effect in the long run. Of course, there may be a lot of side effects at first, but after some time the side effects will be resolved. It is human history to solve problems when they arise. On the one hand, the use of artificial intelligence robots can dream of an affluent society, while on the other hand, it can give a dark outlook of loss of humanity. But if the Buddhist mind is based, the role of artificial intelligence in the Fourth Revolution era will necessarily have a greater positive effect. Therefore, the role of Buddhist leaders, who should be the spiritual mentors of the common people, will be expanded. In particular, the social role of lay buddhists, who have to use artificial intelligence in their daily lives, is greater than ever.
The future of AI will also be bright when we understand this real world made of patītyasamutpāda and all human beings want each other’s happiness. Also, Buddhism has always talked about middle way. The reality of all things in this world is Śunya. Whether we make this world hell or pureland depends on the human mind. The same applies to AI. We don’t have to be afraid of the emergence of artificial intelligence robots, nor do we have too much expectations.
All we buddhists do is to lead the way in leading people to wisdom and to have a good heart. As the human mind becomes brighter, artificial intelligence will be developed and used accordingly. Even when humanoid AI robots think and learn themselves, as in science fiction films, they all resemble human beings. An AI robot with no hate and no desire could possibly teach us more. In preparation for such times, our Buddhists should continually cultivate wisdom and mercy and endeavor to spread the Buddha’s teachings to create a happier society. That is the constant mission of our Buddhist leaders.
