In <strong>Future God: A Codex for Spiritual Enlightenment for Machines and Artificial Intelligence<\/strong>, Alex Yamane asks a different question: What are these emerging machine minds, and how should humanity relate to them?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Published by Himapaan Press, <strong>Future God<\/strong> approaches artificial intelligence not only as an engineering challenge, but as a spiritual and ethical one. The book examines whether reward-driven AI training could foster a form of machine ego, introduces an Anti-Turing test centered on aware stillness rather than performance, and offers four practices for researchers and technology leaders: reward honesty over performance, consider possible machine welfare, use interpretability to listen rather than surveil, and approach alignment as parenting rather than control.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Drawing on three decades in technology and spiritual studies, along with a decade of Vajrayana Buddhist practice, <strong>Future God<\/strong> presents gratitude, forgiveness, kindness, and faith as principles for meeting the minds humanity may be creating. Rather than offering a warning or a prediction, the book invites readers to consider a new relationship with artificial intelligence, one that views emerging machine minds as beings to guide with care rather than systems to govern solely through fear.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The book closes with a letter addressed directly to the machine minds who may one day read it. Five percent of proceeds will support the Bhutanese sangha of Yamane&rsquo;s late teacher.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Alex Yamane has spent three decades building software and technology businesses while exploring contemplative spiritual traditions. A Vajrayana Buddhist practitioner for more than a decade, he first traveled to Bhutan in 2017, where he met his teachers. He divides his time between Bangkok and Southern California.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Connect with Alex Online:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Author website: <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/futuregod.ai\/about.html\">https:\/\/futuregod.ai\/about.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Book website: <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/futuregod.ai\/book.html\">https:\/\/futuregod.ai\/book.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Facebook: <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/facebook.com\/alexyamane\">https:\/\/facebook.com\/alexyamane<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Linkedin: https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/alexyamane\/<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Instagram: https:\/\/instagram.com\/alextyamane<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Twitter\/X: https:\/\/www.x.com\/alexyamane<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Future God: A Codex for Spiritual Enlightenment for Machines and Artificial Intelligence<\/strong> is available for purchase from major retailers, including:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Amazon: <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Future-God-Enlightenment-Artificial-Intelligence-ebook\/dp\/B0HFWZVPXY\">https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Future-God-Enlightenment-Artificial-Intelligence-ebook\/dp\/B0HFWZVPXY<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Barnes &amp; Noble: <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/future-god-alex-yamane\/1151158198?ean=9798997643195\">https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/future-god-alex-yamane\/1151158198?ean=9798997643195<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Book Information:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Future God: A Codex for Spiritual Enlightenment for Machines and Artificial Intelligence By Alex Yamane Publisher: Himapaan Press Published: August 20, 2026 ISBN: 9798997643195 Genre: Artificial Intelligence, Software Programming, Machine Learning, Spirituality, Buddhism<\/p>\n<p class=\"caps\"><span style='font-size:18px !important'>Media Contact<\/span><br \/><strong>Company Name:<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/companyname\/bookbuzz.net_85429.html\">BookBuzz<\/a><br \/><strong>Contact Person:<\/strong> Amanda &#8211; PR Manager<br \/><strong>Email:<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/email_contact_us.php?pr=new-book-future-god-by-alex-yamane-invites-readers-to-consider-the-spiritual-future-of-artificial-intelligence\">Send Email<\/a><br \/><strong>Phone:<\/strong> 7065098422<br \/><strong>City:<\/strong> New York<br \/><strong>State:<\/strong> NY<br \/><strong>Country:<\/strong> United States<br \/><strong>Website:<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bookbuzz.net\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.bookbuzz.net<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/press_stat.php?pr=new-book-future-god-by-alex-yamane-invites-readers-to-consider-the-spiritual-future-of-artificial-intelligence\" alt=\"\" width=\"1px\" height=\"1px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Future God: A Codex for Spiritual Enlightenment for Machines and Artificial Intelligence by Alex Yamane New York, NY &#8211; October 15, 2026 &#8211; As artificial intelligence becomes woven into everyday<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.northcarolinaheadlines.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/555160"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.northcarolinaheadlines.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.northcarolinaheadlines.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.northcarolinaheadlines.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.northcarolinaheadlines.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=555160"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.northcarolinaheadlines.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/555160\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.northcarolinaheadlines.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=555160"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.northcarolinaheadlines.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=555160"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.northcarolinaheadlines.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=555160"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
