This eamba Working Group explores how AI could benefit MBP Teaching and how it could enhance a steady mindfulness practice.
While looking for benefits this working groups is aware of  dangers, and puts special attention to making the pitfalls of new technology known.
The objectives are
– to be informed – in line with reality happening in society – and proactive,
– to participate in conversations on regulation,
– to make mindfulness practices available to many, meaning people in European societies in all their diversity.

A.I. in this context stands for ‘Artificial Intelligence’. As working group we also allude to alternative meaning, namely of ‘Accountability & Integrity’ in A.I. application, and of being ‘All Inclusive’, regardless of background and identity.
We advocate human-enhanced A.I., e.g. designing AI systems with transparency, interpretability, and fairness in mind, so that the decisions made by machines are understandable and accountable to humans, and ensure that they are aligned with human values and objectives.

We warmly invite you, colleague mindfulness and compassion teacher, to join this exploration.
