# Arising

> Arising is an open, non-profit initiative at the meeting of artificial intelligence and the wisdom traditions. For anyone drawn to what AI is becoming — or to the contemplative paths that have long asked what mind and meaning really are — and open to letting the two illuminate each other.

Arising is an open, non-profit initiative at the meeting of artificial intelligence and the wisdom traditions. Essays by Abraham Sedri explore meaning, interdependence (dependent origination, pratityasamutpada), emptiness, and what AI and contemplative thought can learn from each other — the view that nothing stands alone and everything arises in relation.
