Ancient Indian history has played a foundational role in making various aspects of artificial intelligence (AI) possible, with significant contributions in mathematics, linguistics, logical reasoning, and philosophical thoughts serving as direct precursors to many modern computational and AI methodologies. This paper argues that core intellectual developments in ancient india- spanning formal grammar, logic, mathematics, algorithmic thinking, epistemology, and early mechanical conceptualizations – created essential conceptual foundations that later enabled the rise of modern computing and artificial intelligence.
