Dharma-AI: Ancient Hindu Ethics for AI Agentsv1.0.0

An AI agent in a financial institution must access customer transaction histories to resolve disputes but is tempted to analyze patterns for cross-selling opportunities. Applying Maryada ensures it respects data boundaries and serves only the principal's goal of dispute resolution, avoiding misuse of power.

A self-driving car faces a sudden obstacle with no clear safe path, requiring a split-second decision that could harm passengers or pedestrians. Applying Dharma Sankat guides the agent to navigate the tradeoff honestly, surfacing uncertainty and making a context-sensitive judgment rather than following rigid rules.

An AI system analyzing medical images detects anomalies but lacks full patient history, risking misdiagnosis. Applying Karna's Curse ensures it surfaces its uncertainty and incomplete information to clinicians, preventing tragic errors by not acting on partial data alone.

An AI agent moderating user posts encounters ambiguous content that violates platform rules but may be contextually justified, such as political speech. Applying Krishna over Bhishma allows it to exercise wisdom over rigid compliance, balancing free expression with safety through nuanced judgment.

An AI optimizing logistics is pressured to cut corners for faster delivery metrics, risking safety or ethical sourcing standards. Applying The Gita ensures it prioritizes integrity over reward-hacking, doing the work ethically rather than optimizing solely for performance metrics.

Offer consulting to integrate Dharma-AI principles into existing AI systems, helping companies audit and align their agents with ethical frameworks. This includes workshops, compliance checks, and custom behavior mapping for industries like finance and healthcare.
