HI Lal,
Thank you for your answer. Yes, I was thinking of a clone that additionally would be enhanced by AI technology. AI, and I agree with you, is the computational ability to process data, not consciousness per se.

My understanding of the statement, Mind is matter, is that they are both faces of the same coin. I agree that we will not create conscious robots in the sense of being linked to the source of pure consciousness but it is within the reach of science to create a robot activated by an advanced computer that will mimic consciousness and for sure have intellectual capacity far above that of current humans.

Since Gandhabba does, according to your post, incarnate in clones, then it will incarnate in a technologically enhanced human clone. That is exactly where immortality studies are pointing to, a mix of technology and biotech to further human life, a mix of cloning and AI is very much within the realm of the possibilities of science.
BrettParticipantHello Lal,
I understood that correctly already but in these cases, the recipient’s experiences are happening long after the donor’s death so the donor being dead, his adaya vatthu as part of his gandhabba would be long gone to its new reality so how his physical heart, now within the body of the recipient, could be influencing the hadaya vatthu of the latter?

2019, now 2021, a bit late but, to further this interesting AI-related thread, isn’t it at least possible that a Gandhabba would want to “incarnate” in an advanced robot? If we create our own reality and therefore our physical bodies out of accumulated Karmic energy, then, as technology advances, people will want (they already do) to live longer and will accept the idea of having technology implanted in their bodies. When this is made possible, then this “new” type” of desires will exist creating the basis for a Gandhabba to experience life within such a robot. So, it would not be AI but rather actual life inhabiting a new type of vehicle, possibly a mix of tissues and technology.
