INTEGRATING INDIAN KNOWLEDGE SYSTEMS WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: A PATHWAY TO CULTURALLY ROOTED INNOVATION

Abstract

The confluence of Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents a unique opportunity to reshape the global knowledge paradigm. IKS, rooted in centuries-old traditions, philosophies, sciences, and humanities, emphasizes holistic learning, ecological harmony, and spiritual insight. Meanwhile, AI has emerged as a transformative force across domains. This article explores the epistemological compatibility and potential synergies between IKS and AI. It also highlights challenges in integration and proposes a framework to harness the strengths of both for education, healthcare, governance, and sustainable development.
