The New East Asian Studies Podcasts in the Age of AI
The two sources are transcripts of a talk given by Geshe Lobsang Monlam, founder of the mLam Institute, about the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to preserve Tibetan knowledge. Monlam’s work centers on digitizing Tibetan texts and resources, and he has developed numerous software programs and the mLam Tibetan Dictionary, which is currently 223 volumes and growing. Monlam sees AI as a key tool for creating a global digital Tibetan library, allowing for greater access to Tibetan knowledge, especially for younger generations. He is also concerned about the ethical implications of AI and believes that Tibetan Buddhist philosophy, which emphasizes compassion and the well-being of others, can help to guide the development of AI in a positive direction.
