Ai and Dharma Ethics Programme ( AiDEP) of Oxford Dharma Centre organised a panel discussion on 'AI, Consciousness and Dharma Ethics' on 11th August 2026 at Schwarzman Centre, University of Oxford.

Panelists:

Swami Sarvapriyananda: Minister-in-Charge, Vedanta Society of New York. Hindu Monk from Ramakrishna Order. Co-author, with Blaise Agüera y Arcas (Google) and physicist Carlo Rovelli, of the Noema essay "Consciousness Across Three Worldviews," published by the Berggruen Institute.

Prof. Murray Shanahan: Emeritus Professor of Artificial Intelligence, Imperial College London, and Principal Scientist at Google DeepMind.

Dr Andrew Pinsent: Former Particle physicist (involved in DELPHI project at CERN), philosopher, Catholic priest, and former Research Director of the Ian Ramsey Centre for Science and Religion, University of Oxford.

Moderated by Anurag Ray, member of Oxford Dharma Centre. Chanting by Riccardo Paccagnella. Announcements by Mary Adeymo.

Hosted and organised by the Oxford Dharma Centre for Research and Policy: https://www.oxforddharma.org/

The conversation moved from the Eliza Effect and the nature of consciousness to saṃskāras, moral formation, AI alignment and the provocative possibility of an “ego-less” machine. Bringing together perspectives from Vedānta, Buddhism, wide aspects from Dharma traditions, AI and philosophy of mind, and theology, the discussion explored some of the most consequential questions surrounding AI today.
