– Data analysis: AI can process large volumes of data collected in ASC research, revealing hidden patterns and correlations that might not be obvious through traditional analysis methods.
– Technology development: Understanding ASC can inspire creation of new technologies in AI, for example, systems capable of creative thinking or possessing elements of empathy.
Philosophical aspects:
Philosopher John Searle in his “Chinese Room” thought experiment emphasizes that while AI can imitate understanding, it does not possess true consciousness or subjective experience. This distinction is important to consider when studying the interaction between ASC and AI.
Conclusion:
ASC and AI are not in a state of antagonism; rather, they can complement each other, expanding our knowledge of human consciousness and contributing to the development of technologies that take into account deep aspects of human experience.
Chapter 7. Moral Law and AI
AI does not possess an internal moral law but can be programmed to follow ethical principles. When analyzing data collected in ASC, it can consider moral aspects through machine ethics, decision-making algorithms, and human control systems. However, AI remains a tool, and responsibility for its operation lies with its developers and operators. Thus, moral law remains a human prerogative, while AI can only follow prescribed ethical norms.

Before moving on to a more detailed study of the topic, I would like to address the “Moral Law, which, as is known, is always within humans.” In studying ASC, moral law is the main measure of a person’s relationship to what is experienced in ASC. Can AI take this into account when analyzing data collected in ASC?
ChatGPT said:
Artificial intelligence (AI) does not possess consciousness and internal moral law like humans do. However, when analyzing data collected in altered states of consciousness (ASC), AI can be programmed to consider ethical principles and moral norms defined by its developers. This allows AI to take into account moral aspects when processing and interpreting information related to ASC.
Approaches to integrating moral aspects into AI:
– Machine ethics: A field of research aimed at developing artificial agents that behave morally or as if morally. This includes implementing rules and principles based on human ethical systems into AI to ensure morally acceptable behavior.
– Ethical algorithms: Creating algorithms that consider the consequences of their actions and make decisions based on specified ethical criteria. For example, AI can be configured to observe principles of confidentiality and respect for personal data when analyzing information obtained in ASC.
– Control and responsibility: Ensuring that responsibility for AI actions lies with its creators and operators. This includes developing regulations and standards governing the use of AI in research and practice related to ASC.
Conclusion:
Although AI does not possess an internal moral law, it can be configured to follow ethical principles when analyzing data related to ASC. This is achieved through the implementation of machine ethics, development of ethical algorithms, and establishment of clear responsibility standards, allowing AI to consider moral aspects in its work.
Chapter 8. On Future Prediction
AI can analyze ASC data, identify patterns, and build predictions, but it lacks the subjective experience and intuition inherent to humans. Its strength lies in processing large amounts of information and modeling possible future scenarios. However, the interpretation of this data and its connection to prediction remains within the competence of researchers experienced in working with ASC.

I’ve dedicated decades to studying future prediction using ASC. To study this topic, an international scientific web organization “Center for Anticipation” was even created in 2008, which existed for 10 years (until 2018). Based on the Center’s work, several books on future anticipation were written and a method for predicting the future using ASC was developed. QUESTION: Can AI analyze ASC data in such a way as to identify elements of future prediction in them and build scenarios of such a future that is already being sensed by humans in ASC?
ChatGPT said:
Your many years of experience in studying future prediction using altered states of consciousness (ASC) and the activities of the “Center for Anticipation” emphasize the importance of this field. Artificial intelligence (AI) can become a useful tool in analyzing data obtained in ASC to identify elements of prediction and build future scenarios.
AI capabilities in analyzing ASC for future prediction:
– Big data processing: AI can analyze vast amounts of information collected during ASC, revealing hidden patterns and trends that may indicate premonitions or predictions.
– Modeling and forecasting: Using the identified data, AI can create models and predictions of possible future scenarios based on information obtained in ASC.
– Integration with neurotechnology: Modern technologies described in Michio Kaku’s book “The Future of the Mind” allow recording and analyzing brain activity. AI can use this data for a deeper understanding of prediction processes in ASC.
Limitations and ethical aspects:
Despite AI’s potential, it’s important to consider that future prediction in ASC is often connected with subjective experience and intuition, which are difficult to quantitatively measure and analyze using AI. Additionally, it’s necessary to observe ethical norms when collecting and analyzing data related to personal experience and consciousness.
Conclusion:
AI has the potential to analyze data obtained in ASC to identify elements of prediction and build future scenarios. However, to achieve reliable results, it’s necessary to consider the subjective nature of ASC and observe ethical standards in research.
Chapter 9. First Results and Field of Meanings
In this chapter, we summarize our research on the interaction between altered states of consciousness (ASC) and artificial intelligence (AI). We examine AI’s role in analyzing and modeling ASC, its ability to identify patterns and predict the future. We discuss the importance of ethical and philosophical aspects, such as consciousness, subjective experience, and machine ethics. Attention is also paid to ASC possibilities for AI development, including creating new models and algorithms. We expand the list of key concepts, including the unconscious, global consciousness, and philosophical approaches such as dualism and panpsychism.
