Listen to the conversation between our host Alex Sarkissian and Buddhist scholar and author Peter Hershock. Peter shares what led him to Buddhist practice and his interest in technology. They discuss how Buddhist principles, such as karma, mindfulness and interdependence, can help us better navigate the age of AI, and the opportunities and risks of using AI to support faith practices. Peter and Alex see hope for the future while asking “Am I being present in a way that matters most?”
