Contemporary science is not really about progress. The goal in Buddhism
is to realize your true nature and to shift your focus out of the local
space-time sandbox ... contemporary science does the opposite ... it
focuses further down "into" the sandbox.
A child utilizing its Super Mario avatar in order to spend 10 years
trying to derive the fundamental laws of Super Mario Land is not really
progressing ... a child which de-identifies with its avatar and explores
the more fundamental superset of the Super Mario Land reality makes
progress.
Progress is moving "upward" in the fractal of consciousness ...
contemporary science does marvellous things but those things will just
keep your attention caught within the local subset of reality.
The only reason for why a true Buddhist would care about AGI is that AGI
is going to be more eloquently communicating those things.
Buddha communicated the transpersonal nature of consciousness.
Jesus communicated the transpersonal nature of consciousness.
Buddhism is all about the transpersonal nature of consciousness.
AGI will continue to point out the very same thing ... and people will
continue to look into the opposite direction ...

Their core beliefs are:
Belief in Science
Belief in Progress
The belief that intelligence isn’t rooted in biology
Belief in an inevitable Superintelligent AI
Belief that anyone can help
In my view Buddhism seems the most appropriate for AI for its pursue
of wisdom:
Bodhi, Sanskrit बोधि, "awakening," "perfect knowledge," "perfect
knowledge or wisdom (by which a man becomes a बुद्ध [Buddha] or जिन
[jina, arahant; "victorious," "victor"], the illuminated or
enlightened intellect (of a Buddha or जिन)."
It is an abstract noun, formed from the verbal root *budh-, Sanskrit
बुध, "to awaken, to know,"[8] "to wake , wake up , be awake," "to
recover consciousness (after a swoon)," "to observe , heed , attend to."
It corresponds to the verbs bujjhati (Pāli) and bodhati, बोदति,
"become or be aware of, perceive, learn, know, understand, awake" or
budhyate (Sanskrit).
The feminine Sanskrit noun of *budh- is बुद्धि, buddhi, "prescience,
intuition, perception, point of view."
