從腦電波驗證禪修狀態看佛法在人工智能時代的趨勢
如果佛陀再次降生在現在的科技時代，佛陀是否會使用科技來弘法? 此篇論文比較佛經中科學論述的部分以及在現代的人工智能科技的時代， 是否有異曲同工之處，甚至未來是否有輔助結合之處。另也介紹目前科學界的研究以及社會上的相關應用情況進行探討。
科學的定義是有系統的研究，並且透過觀察，假設，並且論證之後可重複，可驗證的一種邏輯的研究行為。佛經中，佛陀與弟子討論佛法的方式是極為科學的，都是透過觀察假設的提問，並且舉案例去論證的一種哲學的思辨， 而除了哲學的驗證方式，各種玄理的驗證方式也是有邏輯步驟的，並且符合現在的自然語言以及人工智慧的範疇設計。舉例來說，三藏十二部裡面以禪宗祖師的語錄留存的文字數最多。當開悟的程度無法用詳細的文字表達的時候，中國的祖師用境界極高的詩詞來表述，並且在不同的時代裡，相隔數百年都可以用同樣的境界去論證，而流傳下了如此多的語錄。如果詳細看禪宗公案的機鋒轉語以及弟子與師父之間的默契，可以看到一套邏輯，他們確定你是在對的情況下，按照順序去探究不同的境界，給予不同的指導。雖然它的過程在古時候並沒有進行詳細的分類， 那個時候他們覺得開悟的人會懂，而且各種情況極為複杂，所以不另外寫下來，但是詳細觀察它的過程，已經符合自然語言的設計。
另外也舉例像是地藏占察輪;一個人如果要知道自己的業障哪邊還沒有消，在地藏菩薩的法門裡可以透過占卜的方式，看還剩下多少， 而他所列出的條目及分類方式是完全符合人工智能的自然語言分類方式。
在禪修方面，大安般守意經已經裡面闡述了16種禪修的階段境界。他的設計方式以及分類方式是科學的，可以用科學的語言去把它轉化成演算法，這是所謂的轉譯科學（Translational science）,本文主要討論以腦電波研究為案例，舉例佛法在人工智慧領域裡的應用。The view of buddhism on the verification of brain wave during meditation in the AI Era.
If the Buddha were alive today, in the era of science and technology, will the Buddha use those tools to propagate His teachings? This paper compares the scientific discussion in the Sutra and the modern AI technology on the similarities and the possibilities of integration in the future. Besides that, it also introduces the current research in the community of science and the related application in the society.
The definition of science is a systematic study, through observation, generates hypothesis that are tested and falsifiable, logical verification research behaviour. In the scriptures, the dharma discussion between Buddha and the disciples were scientific. They are all philosophical speculations through observation of hypothetical questions and case studies. In addition, the verification methods are logical and conform to the current natural language and artificial intelligence design. For example, there was a lot of zen masters’ record (Yu-Lu) in Mahayana tripitaka. When the level of enlightenment could not be measured using detailed worlds to explain, the masters in China used poetry to express experience of enlightenment in different eras. The same verification method could be used to verify the experience of enlightenment by the masters. Kōan (公案) produced between the masters and the disciples could be a logical system where a master tests the disciples’ progress in the practice and provides guidance accordingly. Although its process was not described in detail during the ancient times, they felt that only the enlightened people would understand, and the processes were extremely complicated, so it was not written down, but the process of observing it in detail was in line with natural language design. In Sutra on the Divination of the Effect of Good and Evil Actions , there is a method in Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s teaching on how to divine and contemplate the karmic debts. The items and classification listed in it are in line with the natural language classification of artificial intelligence.
In Great Ānāpānasmṛti Sūtra (大安般守意經) includes 16 steps in the meditation practice. The design and classification are scientific and could be translated into algorithms by using scientific language, which is the translational science. In this paper, discussion of the research on brainwave case studies and getting examples the application of dharma in the Artificial intelligence.
