About the Author & the Book: AI is now a daily trending topic, with tons of content discussing problems but hardly any offering solutions. More than you, your children—the next generation—must navigate these uncertain times. Moreover, they will learn everything about Artificial Intelligence from YouTube and social media. But who will guide them to the oldest intelligence—the subtle, natural intelligence of humans—and the history of natural languages, their necessity, their relevance to the future, and even their connection to modern AI?
As a father of two, I have chosen to write a human story rather than a sci-fi narrative to explore the possibilities of solving AI-related concerns. I feel in the process of making a better humonoid, we are unconsiciously becoming a worser human beings with zero creativity. With hope for positive times ahead, this hypothesis must become reality as soon as possible—and that will happen only if we all wish to make it so.
This book aims to help readers, young and open in heart, recognize the science behind ancient wisdom. The Mundaka Upanishad says, "Svasti vah parāya tamasaḥ parastāt." — "May your efforts to cross the ocean of darkness (of ignorance) and reach the shores of light and peace be fulfilled." So, the genre aligns with क्रांति पथ (The Path of Enlightenment) and its chosen title, The Oracle of Artificial Intelligence.
It is intended for general readers aged 15 and up, requiring only curiosity—prior tech knowledge is merely a bonus. Some sections deliberately adopt a textbook-like style for the general audience, while a few thoughts on possible technical solutions are included for those closely tracking AI research. However, general readers can safely skip these sections and still grasp the essence of the story. Additional references are available upon request.
I’d love to hear your feedback. I wish you a happy reading journey into your golden future! Stay blessed.

Many have given inputs to me on AI. I have listed them in the references of the book. Specially, I thank my dear friend Bhradwaj Pudipeddi (USA) for inputs on AI trends and Dr.Kushal Shah (Professor, Artificial Intelligence, Sitare University) for his encouragement.
