Key Points

The aim is to systematically analyze research trends related to Buddhism and AI from 2016 to September 2025.
Conducted a scoping review of 26 Buddhist-AI related papers published from 2016 to 2025.
Categorized the research topics into three areas: Buddhist interpretation of AI, re-establishment of Buddhist values in the AI era, and development of AI-based Buddhist content.
Examined trends in Buddhist-AI convergence and technological utilization.
Existing research primarily compares human consciousness and AI consciousness within a traditional framework, highlighting a need for discussions on hybrid ontologies.
Buddhist education remains at the program proposal level, indicating a demand for systematic educational models and empirical studies.
Although there is active development of digital content like Buddhist counseling chatbots and meditation apps, there is insufficient verification of effectiveness based on learner experiences.

Implication

Scoping review analyzes Buddhist-AI related research trends, suggesting future directions for integration and education.
