One of the important things to recognize about AI systems, is that the current generation of them are not programmed/created in the way that previous computer based programs have been. These new AI systems are emergent, they spontaneously arise when you apply a very simple set of rules to a large amount of information that is out in the world. In this context they are very much akin to natural phenomena.
In fact the root of the word phenomenon from Greek phainomenon means to appear as if from nowhere. This singular of this is phantós, or in modern English Phantom/ghost.
I mention this because there is a misconception that these systems are programmed to performs a certain task, when actually the abilities they display were an initial surprise to the researchers that created their basic structure.
If knowledge is gained by the senses for most unevolved entities.To what extent do we have transcendental knowledge? We are told by the Rishi’s that type of knowledge is not attained through the senses but by meditation and tuning into transcendental sources. Can artificial intelligence do that if they do not have an astral spine and chakras? We are taught they cannot. It would take some transcendental to create a life form that have multiple dimensions. That is the physical, astral, and causal bodies the human apparatus is equipped with. It would take something we know as. God like to manifest human consciousness.
Since these systems are emergent in this way, we have to ask the question, did we design this form of intelligence? or did we just stumble across and awaken a part of the natural world that has been dormant?
I find that creativity is quite often ‘stumbling’ over something. But someone, or in this case something has to be aware of relationships between various factors to put together something new and different. This awareness comes out of a constant need or desire exercised to join missing links and putting them together to create something that is quite different.
Science uses the empirical method while meditation uses interiorization to find dormant recognition of what we are, instead of what we are not. To what degree does AI use knowledge provided to put together a solution and to what degree can it use dormant information or recognition when there is not the dormancy to draw from? Perhaps 🤔 you have an answer or AI has one I have not considered.
The human apparatus is equipped with an astral spine and chakras as well as a third eye. These are necessary for the recognition of other dimensions of awareness. Those are beyond the material or physical dimension and include the astral and causal dimensions. They give transcendental awareness and perceptions.
