This analysis explores how Buddhist philosophy may be applied to address global crises in an era where artificial intelligence (AI) plays an increasingly significant role in warfare. It draws on a hypothetical conflict between the United States and Iran in 2026 as a case study, illustrating the destructive consequences of advanced precision weapons when they are deployed without sufficient ethical safeguards, resulting in significant harm to civilians.
The source highlights an emerging ethical crisis, in which life-and-death decisions are gradually shifting from human judgment to machine-based systems designed primarily for efficiency and destruction. As AI-driven warfare becomes more sophisticated, the moral responsibility traditionally borne by human decision-makers risks being displaced by automated processes.
In response to these challenges, the study proposes the concept of “War Studies in the Tripitaka” together with the framework of Buddhist Artificial Intelligence as a new philosophical foundation for governing advanced technologies. Rather than relying on military force alone, this approach emphasizes compassion, ethical awareness, and wisdom as guiding principles for the development and regulation of technological power.
Such a paradigm shift seeks to cultivate sustainable peace, grounded in insight and a deep understanding of the interconnectedness of all beings. It argues that genuine security cannot arise solely from military strength or technological superiority, but must be rooted in wisdom and ethical responsibility aimed at preventing conflicts before they escalate.
The analysis ultimately warns that if humanity continues to develop AI without a strong moral and ethical framework, warfare may evolve into a self-perpetuating system of violence—one that could eventually expand beyond humanity’s capacity to control.
