Overview

This six-session course, inspired by the message of INDICA founder Shri Hari Kiran Vadlamani to protect, preserve and promote dharma, is designed to explore how AI can enable that on a global scale. We will delve into the opportunities, approaches, and methodologies in documenting and countering Hindu hate, building dhārmika narratives, and developing innovative dhārmika products using seven use cases. This is not a tool-building course and does not involve the use of programming languages or implementing the seven use cases. Instead, for each use case, we will review applicable techniques, approaches, and methodologies that can be applied. This course is ideal for anyone passionate about the integration of cutting-edge technology for dhārmika causes, offering insights into how AI can be effectively leveraged to advance and sustain Dharma globally. It is also designed for tech-friendly individuals who want to make a positive impact on the dhārmika ecosystem.

This course is designed for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
