Abstract
This scholarly article delves into the profound teachings of ancient Hindu scriptures, primarily the Vedas and the Bhagavad Gita, and explores their relevance in inspiring design and technology in the contemporary era. Focusing on the intersection of spirituality and technology, we draw parallels between ancient spiritual technologies, such as Vimānas, and their modern counterparts, such as drones and airplanes. Furthermore, the article investigates the burgeoning field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning, and Machine Consciousness, contemplating how ancient philosophies can guide the ethical development of intelligent machines. The discussion extends to the potential emergence of hybrid artificial consciousness, combining human and machine intelligence.
