Overview

This volume investigates the intricate interplay between artificial intelligence (AI) and consciousness, delving into potential convergences and divergences in organizational and societal contexts. It adopts various perspectives, including spirituality, humanism, sustainability, and systems thinking. Organized into three sections, the work explores consciousness-based, humanistic, and systemic approaches, covering topics such generative AI, creativity, innovation, and religious traditions. AI encapsulates human reality and knowledge in a functional, accessible form, while consciousness is the timeless totality of universal reality in its unbounded unmanifest potential accessible through natural practices. The two are complementary, though with disagreement on primacy of one or the other. Exploring the broad impact of AI on spirituality, this interdisciplinary book will engage scholars and students in the fields of management, DEI, psychology, and philosophy.
