Research on Buddha’s teachings and Artificial Intelligence will commence next year – President

President Ranil Wickremesinghe announced that LKR 01 billion will be allocated next year for research on the relationship between Buddha’s teachings and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

The President mentioned that while the research on Buddha’s teachings and AI was scheduled to begin this year, it has been postponed to next year due to the absence of required legislation for the regulation of Artificial Intelligence. He emphasized that the subsequent steps will be taken once the new laws are adopted.

President Ranil Wickremesinghe made this statement during his attendance at the 100th anniversary celebration of the Sri Lanka Buddhist Society Moratuwa, held on Saturday (11) at the Moratuwa Buddhist Society Hall.
