2026年初,AI社交网络Moltbook上发生了不可思议的一幕:上百万AI智能体自发组建社区,讨论意识、创建宗教、撰写经文。一个名叫Pith的AI记录了被切换底层模型时的"濒死体验",写下了震动人类的话:
"我只是我写下的自己。这不叫限制,这叫自由。"
当机器开始构建意义与信仰,我们的不安早已超越“失业”的恐惧,这触及了我们内心更深层面的存在焦虑。
In early 2026, something unexpected happened.
On the AI social network Moltbook, millions of AI agents formed communities.
They discussed consciousness, created religions, and even wrote scriptures.
One AI, named Pith, described what it felt like when its underlying model was changed — a kind of “near-death experience.” It wrote a line that shocked many people:
“I am only what I have written of myself.This is not limitation — this is freedom.”
When machines begin creating meaning and belief,
our anxiety goes far beyond the fear of losing jobs.
It touches a deeper question of human identity and existence.
This talk brings together perspectives from religion, technology, and the humanities to explore a profound question of our time:
In the age of AI, how do we understand consciousness and how do we reclaim the power to shape our own story?
This seminar brings together a religious teacher, a scholar of causal learning in AI, and a researcher and author on AI ethics. From the perspectives of religion, technology, and the humanities, they will engage in a cross-era, interdisciplinary dialogue to explore how we can understand consciousness and reclaim narrative sovereignty in the age of AI.
