It examines the hypothesis on the possibility of creating an artificial intelligence with consciousness based on the consideration as the initial matrix of the concept of Buddhist logic and the theory of knowledge described in the works of Dharmakirti and Dharmottara. Buddhist logic is semanticdealing with meaning and therefore with real experience, as a source for inferences.The author considers the possibility of creating computers on this basis as generating consciousness and within the framework of transhumanistic trends - a possible "home" for human consciousness and the acquisition of technogenic immortality.
