Explore the complex relationship between artificial intelligence and truth in this conference talk that examines how deception—both intentional and unintentional—has been woven throughout AI's history from the 18th-century Mechanical Turk to modern systems like ChatGPT and Gemini. Delve into the troublesome relationship between AI and values that stems from misunderstanding the truthfulness of AI systems, then discover how Zen Buddhist principles of non-duality and non-deceptiveness can guide the design and deployment of AI systems that foster clarity, honesty, and genuine understanding. Engage with a cross-disciplinary approach that bridges artificial intelligence research with Eastern philosophical frameworks to understand how to create intelligence that illuminates rather than obscures. Learn from insights on generative AI, open-endedness, goal-directedness, and creativity while considering the broader implications for responsible AI implementation across technological, economic, and geopolitical domains.
