When I was in Davos, the Buddhist monk Shoukei Matsumoto, who translated the book The Good Ancestor into Japanese, and I had a discussion about Taoism, funerals, and “the passing of human supremacy.” We discussed how AI humbles humanity’s sense of supremacy (especially in certain tasks) and can reconnect us to a broader, more-than-human world. That prompts us to ask: “If AI is bridging human and nonhuman, like analyzing whale communication or birdsong, what ethics are involved?” Are we ready to communicate with those other intelligences?
