چکیده

One of the most interesting multidisciplinary subjects surrounding artificial intelligence (AI) is the investigation of the potential that AI has a soul and spirituality. The research question is whether spirituality is feasible or impossible for AI, given the core tenets of Islamic philosophy (which place a strong emphasis on transcendental insight). Using a descriptive-analytical methodology, this study explores the theoretical underpinnings of transcendental wisdom, including the coincidence of existence and knowledge, substantial motion, the gradation of existence, the soul's physical occurrence, and the soul's spiritual survival. According to these principles, existence comes in varying degrees of strength and weakness; as existence becomes more intense, so do its effects and features, including knowledge, consciousness, and life quality. As a creature progresses through substantial motion and its existential intensity grows, so does its level of consciousness and life. Just as raw materials, via evolutionary substantial motion, can achieve very high levels of intensity of life and consciousness, levels that have the potential to lead to spirituality and possibly even the ability to accept oneself. The following outcomes are the consequence of the development of the foundations of transcendental wisdom in new issues: It is both plausible and likely that AI will have a significant rise in consciousness and existential intensity, leading to a degree of spiritual orientation, as a result of its significant mobility and existential progress. Transcendental wisdom holds that spirituality is not impossible for artificial intelligence, despite the fact that it appears unrealistic from the standpoint of experimentation and laboratory research.
