ทฤษฎี AI พิสูจน์ "อนัตตา" ตามหลักพุทธ? วิทยาศาสตร์พบธรรมะ
Summary
The opening observation is that a model can play many roles with no genuine self behind any of them.
Professor Murray Shanahan of DeepMind points out that this reflects the Buddhist idea of anattā.
The questions that follow: is the model really selfless, is human consciousness genuinely different, and can AI serve as a mirror for the teaching.
Key points
The observation comes from inside AI
A DeepMind researcher did not arrive here from religious interest, which gives the point a different weight.
The resemblance is structural, not experiential
Anattā is about the absence of a permanent core — a structural claim, not a statement that a model has attained anything.
AI is a mirror, not evidence
It makes selflessness legible without demonstrating that humans work the same way.
The consciousness question stays open
The difference between performing a role and having an experience remains unanswered on both sides.
