Abstract

The purpose of the present study is to expound on the significance of the integration of artificial intelligence in Sikh shrines could enhance tradition and accessibility. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has significantly influenced various facets of human life, including religious and spiritual traditions. As one of the youngest religions, Sikhism paves the way for wider research in Sikh structures, including Sikh Shrines. Sikh Shrines also known as Gurudwaras are an essential part of Sikh culture and heritage. The integration of AI into these sacred spaces has streamlined operations, enhancing security, management, accessibility, and the dissemination of religious teachings. This paper explores the historical and cultural relevance of Gurdwaras while analyzing the role of AI in improving their functionality. It highlights AI-driven advancements such as virtual pilgrimages, automated translations, digitalization and preservation of sikh scriptures and intelligent crowd control, which offer new ways to enrich the spiritual experience. AI-powered apps can guide devotees through personalized spiritual content based on their prefernces . The fusion od AI and Gurudwara operations presents a promising frontier where technology meets spirituality. Additionally, the paper discusses the ethical implications and challenges of incorporating AI in religious settings, ensuring that technological progress aligns with Sikh traditions and values. The study will be based on a literature review.
