The Tej Gyan Foundation, a globally recognized organization dedicated to wisdom-based education and self-transformation, curated this session to highlight how natural intelligence—rooted in clarity, mindfulness, and conscious decision-making—remains humanity’s greatest strength in an AI-driven era.
Experts Call For Integration Of AI And Human Wisdom

- Prof. Lalit Kumar Das, Pioneer in Product Design & Former IIT Delhi Faculty
Moderated by Krishna Iyer, a trustee of Tej Gyan Foundation and a tech entrepreneur, the discussion explored the need to integrate AI with human intelligence, emotional awareness, and ethical considerations rather than allowing technology to overshadow fundamental human wisdom.

Prof. Lalit Kumar Das spoke about the importance of being in sync with nature and understanding “life force intelligence”—the same intelligence even bacteria exhibit. He emphasized that by observing natural systems, humans can develop a deeper understanding of intelligence that extends beyond artificial computations.
