Role of Ancient Indian Knowledge Systems in AI-Driven Business Models: A Conceptual and Applied Study

Authors: Zoya Heyat Bakshi

Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming modern business models through automation, predictive analytics, and data-driven decision-making. However, ethical concerns such as bias, lack of transparency, and sustainability challenges persist (Floridi et al., 2018). Ancient Indian knowledge systems, including the Arthashastra and Bhagavad Gita, provide principles of Dharma, governance, and holistic well-being. This paper proposes an integrated framework combining AI technologies with traditional knowledge systems to enhance ethical alignment and sustainability in business models.
