Human Values from Indian Philosophy to Solve AI Alignment Problem

The swift progress of artificial intelligence (AI) has presented society with unparalleled opportunities and challenges. With the growing autonomy of AI systems, the critical concern of ensuring their alignment with human values and ethical principles has come to the forefront. The AI alignment problem refers to the challenge of designing AI systems that act in ways that are beneficial and aligned with human intentions and values. In this paper, we explore the potential contributions of human values from Indian philosophy in solving the AI alignment problem. We conclude that it is possible to establish and tailor a finite set of human values derived from Indian philosophy for the purpose of addressing the enduring challenges that AI systems are expected to tackle in their operational tasks.
