  Two of the biggest design problems in Artificial Intelligence are how to build robots that behave in line with human values and how to stop them ever going rogue. One under-explored solution to these alignment and control problems might be to examine how these are already addressed in the design of humans. 
   
   
   
  Looking closely at the human blueprint, it contains a suite of capacities that are so clumsy they have generally been kept away from AI. It was assumed that robots with features like emotions and intuition, that made mistakes and looked for meaning and purpose, would not work as well as robots without this kind of code. But on considering why all these irrational properties are there, it seems that they emerge from the source code of soul. Because it is actually this 'junk' code that makes us human and promotes the kind of reciprocal altruism that keeps humanity alive and thriving. 
   
   
   
  Robot Souls looks at developments in AI and reviews the emergence of ideas of consciousness and the soul. It places our 'junk code' in this context and argues that it is time to foreground that code, and to use it to look again at how we are programming AI.

  At its core, sustainability strives for harmony between the environment, society, and economy, ensuring that each of these areas is addressed in ways that do not compromise the others. 
    
  In the environmental context, sustainability involves careful management of natural resources to ensure that ecosystems remain viable for generations to come. This includes minimizing waste, reducing pollution, and encouraging the responsible use of land, water, and energy resources. Rather than overexploiting resources for short-term gain, sustainable practices aim to maintain or restore the natural balance, ensuring that the resources will continue to be available and capable of supporting life in the future. 
    
  Economically, sustainability promotes the efficient use of resources to create systems that are resilient and able to support long-term prosperity. It encourages businesses and industries to integrate environmental and social considerations into their financial strategies. By focusing on long-term gains instead of short-term profits, sustainable economic practices seek to create an economy that can thrive without causing harm to the environment or society. This often involves adopting technologies and methods that reduce costs and create value without depleting resources or harming ecosystems.

  A ONE-SENTENCE DESCRIPTION: Scientific explanations of the teachings of The Gītā and The Upanisads (Vedānta), ancient Indian scriptures, through teacher-student storytelling and Q&A, ultimately showing readers how to lead a purpose-filled, action-oriented life of fulfillment. 
  A BRIEF DESCRIPTION: The book exposes readers to the deep science, logic and simplicity embedded in the teachings of The Gītā and The Upanisads (Vedānta), ancient Indian philosophical treatises. 
  The most important learning for the reader is to show that the ancient Indian teachings in The Gītā and The Upanisads, if followed with discipline, will lead to a life filled with purpose, fulfillment and mental wellbeing. For this I present the MEDYK framework – Meditation, Exercise, Diet, Yoga and Karma Yoga, to be followed in that order, everyday. 
  Secondly, I introduce the deeply researched and validated concepts of The Upaniṣads by going into great depths and analyses of the aphorisms – I present here a novel way of bringing spirituality and science together in an audacious claim to blend them into a Spiritualistic Evolutionary Empirical Science, or SEES. 
  Lastly, the reader will learn how to apply this thinking to daily life through action with the right attitude (karma yoga). By developing Faith and Focus on these teachings, one will achieve a Fearlessness, Freedom and Fecundity of thought leading to a transformed way of living, and an unparalleled fulfillment of being.
