In a Buddhist context, this question is nearly synonymous with asking, "Is AI a sentient being?" If AI is indeed a sentient being, it would also have its own "body" and "umwelt," or environmental world, in which it thinks uniquely. AI as a sentient being would not be an imperfect human but rather a distinct entity living in a world that is on par with the human world. This idea aligns with the concept of "multinaturalism" as advocated by anthropologist Eduardo Viveiros de Castro.
