Podcast uses Hindu karma concept to frame shared responsibility for AI harms
krvarshney · x · 2026-11-07
A podcast discussion asks: who's to blame if a self-driving car kills someone? Borrowing from the Mahabharata—where karma from eating meat is shared by eater, butcher, and cook—the speakers argue AI responsibility is similarly distributed among users, inference hosts, data labelers, and model makers. Released via AIandFaith, the episode also explores Hinduism's core teachings on bringing AI into the world ethically and connections with other faith traditions.
