This chapter explores the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and consciousness, integrating scientific and spiritual perspectives. It critically examines the ongoing debate between material monism and panpsychism regarding the nature of consciousness, emphasizing their implications for AI's potential to achieve conscious awareness. Drawing from spiritual traditions such as Buddhism, Daoism, and Hinduism, the chapter highlights the limitations of AI in embodying intuition, lived experience, and spiritual consciousness. By contrasting AI's reliance on abstract knowledge with the embodied practices of spirituality, it underscores the unique human ability to access deeper states of awareness through self-inquiry and contemplation.
