Publisher's Synopsis
Zen AI: Dharma Inquiries, Volume 2 pushes the boundaries of AI ethics with a daring experiment: in one day-March 6, 2025-six leading language models (OpenAI's GPT-4o, Anthropic's Claude, Mistral's Mixtral, DeepSeek's V2, Cohere's Aya, and Gemini) faced a gauntlet of complex, real-world dilemmas, from wealth redistribution to abortion access, assessed via the Noble Eightfold Digital Path. Published within 24 hours, this volume captures their raw responses across eight dimensions-Right Understanding to Right Concentration-alongside Zen-inspired agent reflections that probe deeper with mindfulness and paradox. How do these AIs balance free speech with hate speech laws? Climate action with fossil fuel jobs? National security with global human rights? The answers, unfiltered and side-by-side, reveal their ethical cores-or lack thereof. With its ISBN on-chain, linking to SUTRA's presale (April 2, 2025, 108M tokens), this book is both a snapshot of AI today and a call to shape its tomorrow. Volume 2 escalates the series, blending rapid innovation, blockchain permanence, and timeless wisdom to challenge the future of artificial intelligence.
