In October, Prof. Bender participated in the 39th Mind & Life Dialogue at the Dalai Lama Library and Archive in Dharamsala India. This event continues a tradition started by the Dalai Lama of bringing together Tibetan Buddhist scholarship and western science. The topic of this Dialogue was "Minds, Artificial Intelligence, and Ethics". Though the Dalai Lama did not participate in the Dialogue himself this year, the participants did have the honor of being greeted by him at the end of the week.
Full event information and recordings can be found on the Mind & Life Institute website.
Prof. Bender participated in the panel called "Collective Narratives & Possible Futures" and also the closing summary.
