Abstract

Industry 5.0, regarded as the fifth industrial revolution, marks a transition that prioritizes human uniqueness and contribution over the mere technical efficiency of machines. Here, a collaborative environment emerges where humans and machines—specifically Artificial Intelligence—work in tandem. In such a converged landscape, technological management must be founded not only on mathematical formulas and data analytics but also on humanitarian values, ethics, and social responsibility.

To fulfill this fundamental requirement, Thiruvalluvar’s Thirukkural provides an exceptional philosophical foundation. By structuring human life and social systems upon the three pillars of Virtue (Aram), Wealth (Porul), and Love (Inbam), this treatise serves as a guiding light for the new challenges of the industrial world.

The role of Thirukkural in shaping Human-Centric AI Management is multifaceted. Firstly, leadership concepts such as "A king is he who possesses a broad and discerning mind" (Kural 381) highlight the necessity of comprehensive knowledge. This emphasizes the ability to integrate AI outputs with human intelligence to make ethically sound decisions.

Secondly, the principle from the Porutpal (Book of Wealth) to "Earn wealth... with grace" (Kural 755) stresses that profit-making should not be the sole aim; rather, wealth should be acquired through honest means that respect the welfare of all. This acts as an ethical compass for modern industrial management, which must reconcile profit motives with social welfare and environmental responsibility.

Thirdly, the emphasis on discipline—"Conduct yields excellence" (Kural 131)—reminds us that ethical conduct must be present in every dimension of technological management, including data privacy, algorithmic ethics, and employee codes of conduct.

Thus, Industry 5.0 bridges the gap between humans and machines. This connection must remain centered on humanitarian values. Thirukkural’s timeless philosophies offer the perfect foundation for this. By adopting its values of integrity, responsibility, justice, discipline, and humanity as the driving force of AI management, technological progress will truly become a reliable instrument for social advancement.
