About the Talk:
As artificial intelligence advances at breakneck speed, Sri Vijay Anand draws on traditions like Śrī Vidyā and Advaita Vedānta to examine the divide between computation and true Consciousness (Sākṣī). Treating AI as a mirror reflecting the Self, the book explores how to preserve human dignity, wisdom, and inner stillness (Bindu) in an algorithm-driven world. Ultimately, it warns that the greatest danger is not machines becoming human, but human beings agreeing to become machines.
About the Author:
Sri Vijay Anand (M.Tech/PhD) brings together decades of deep immersion in Śrī Vidyā, Śākta-Advaita traditions, and high-level technological inquiry. Through his research, writing, and discourses, he bridges timeless esoteric principles of consciousness with contemporary cognitive and algorithmic paradigms.
