How can Buddhists engage with artificial intelligence without giving in to either fear or hype?

Join us for Buddhism and AI, a two-part seminar with Brant Horio, PhD, exploring a Buddhist Middle Path for understanding and using rapidly evolving AI technologies.

🗓 Friday, October 9 | 6:00–8:00 p.m.
The Middle Path in the Age of AI: Navigating Between the Fear and the Hype

🗓 Saturday, October 10 | 9:00 a.m.–Noon
The Middle Path in the Age of AI: From Possibility to Practice

Dr. Horio will demystify generative AI, consider what it can—and cannot—do, and explore how Buddhist communities might use these tools for Dharma study, teaching, translation, creative media, and more while maintaining appropriate boundaries and preserving human judgment.
