The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the digital era has reshaped human technology relations, shifting AI from a mere instrumental tool to an active collaborative partner in data analysis, decision support, and innovation across multiple domains. This study examines the partnership between humans and AI through a philosophical lens informed by Hindu thought, aiming to articulate ethical resources that can guide responsible AI development and deployment. Employing a qualitative literature review, the research synthesizes scholarship on AI development, technology ethics, philosophy of technology, and Hindu ethical concepts. The review finds that Hindu principles particularly dharma (moral duty), karma (consequential responsibility), and Tri Hita Karana (harmonious relations among humans, nature, and the divine) offer a coherent normative framework for aligning AI design and use with social justice, accountability, and communal welfare. The study concludes that framing human AI relations as a moral partnership, rather than a purely technical arrangement, can help preserve human agency, mitigate algorithmic harms, and promote technology that supports sustainable well-being. The findings contribute a cross-cultural ethical perspective to contemporary debates on responsible AI.
