AI is everywhere—but are we settling for sophisticated approximation when we could be building more reliable systems? In his session at the 2025 OnlineTestConf by PractiTest, Lalit Bhamare shares his perspective as a skeptical practitioner who has explored AI tools and LLMs. While useful, they remain limited to pattern matching and mimicry, lacking true reasoning and context. Drawing inspiration from the Nyaya school of Indian philosophy, a 2,000-year-old framework for knowledge and logic, Lalit explores how timeless principles of inquiry, reasoning, and ethics can guide AI toward complementing—not replacing—human intelligence. For testers, this shift is crucial. By applying Nyaya’s methods, they can sharpen critical thinking, avoid AI pitfalls, and contribute to building AI that is consistent, reliable, and deeply aligned with human wisdom. Main Takeaways: * Understand what true cognition and authentic intelligence means * Understand role of a Tester in the age of AI * Practical insights on improving AI to be more reliable
