Riddle me this, /sci/: can/could you teach/instruct and artificial intelligence to meditate? I'm thinking about both the future theoretical possibility as well as the proto-AIs we have now.
Now, obviously it’s a broad question because there are different ideas about what "meditation" is and what would constitute a genuine AI. But if you look at it in a general way, with meditation being the generic "meditation aims at sustaining a single-pointed concentration, clearing the mind” and “being awake inside without being aware of anything except awareness itself", would that be possible with a consciousness that is inherently disembodied?
If an AI is truly “disembodied”* and by its nature has broken the cycle of death and rebirth (if one were to take the Buddhist stance), then wouldn’t a true AI be an enlightened consciousness that has attained Nirvana right from the get-go?
*yeah the AI obviously has to reside on some tech, so it’s not totally free from the physical, but it is free from the pain and suffering that are intrinsic to bodily existence.
What would the AI’s mantra be?

Keep your dumas thoughts to yourself or else you're gonna get hit. Thi's thread means nothing. You think your thoughts have some sort of depth but this subject in and of itself means nothing. Theres no substance. Meditation means nothing and coming up with some idea to implement it into robots mean's even less.

It would be on a different level to puny biological consciousness, yes.

I think meditation is about achieving a Beta wave brain state (or lower), and from there it branches off in many directions depending on what type of meditation you're doing. As an AI doesn't have a physical brain and brain wave states are a trait of our physical hardware (ie our brains) I don't think it's physically possible for an AI to meditate unless you have a whole brain emulation. We are capable of creating whole brain emulations of fruit flies but I'm pretty sure that they run at 1/10th real time.

tl;dr It's theoretically possible, but not with current knowledge or technology.
