My master's research at NYU asks what a fulfilling life means in the age of AI. It challenges an assumption shared by scholarship and the wider culture—that fulfillment is something we produce through the right work and conditions—by bringing Advaita Vedānta into dialogue with Western theories of labor and alienation. I argue that the conditions and pursuits the field emphasizes are necessary but insufficient, as they leave a deeper existential lack unresolved. The account I develop reframes fulfillment not as an achievement but as Self-realization—a distinction that grows more urgent as AI accelerates the very productivity logic my research critiques.
