Did artificial intelligence really begin in the modern West, or do its deepest roots reach back to ancient India?

From Sunya to Algorithms explores the astonishing connections between ancient Indian knowledge systems and the foundations of modern AI. Through the works of Aryabhata, Brahmagupta, Panini, and BhÄskarÄchÄrya, Stephen Antony Venansious shows how zero, formal grammar, predictive astronomy, and structured reasoning helped shape the intellectual architecture behind computation itself.

Blending history, philosophy, mathematics, and ethics, this book challenges conventional narratives and offers a bold new perspective on the origin of intelligence in systems. At a time when the world is debating AI safety, alignment, and ethics, this work argues that ancient civilizational wisdom may hold some of the answers modern technology urgently needs.
