Tech entrepreneur launches ‘Natural Intelligence': ‘will think with heart, not hardware'
Written by Ajay Raj Singh
In a bold declaration that could stir debate across the tech world, Chandigarh-based entrepreneur Siddhant Bansal on Monday unveiled what he described as a 'paradigm shift' in computing — Natural Intelligence.
At a press conference on Monday, the 31-year-old Panjab University (PU) graduate, known for his people-centric approach to technology, said Natural Intelligence will replace Artificial Intelligence by enabling systems that 'think with heart, not just hardware'.
At the core of the concept is Aloha Intelligence, a platform developed entirely in India, which Siddhant described as 'the world's first real-time thinking brain for machines.' Far from being another AI tool, Aloha, he claimed, offers human-like comprehension, capable of listening, understanding context, and responding with empathy.
'AI is over. Natural Intelligence is the future,' Siddhant declared.
He demonstrated Aloha live at the event — touted as the first-ever press conference featuring Natural Intelligence — by analysing tweets of US President Donald Trump and inviting journalists to interact with the platform in real time. 'It's not a tool, it's my business partner,' he said.
According to Siddhant, Aloha is designed for a wide user base: from filing RTIs and police complaints to drafting legal documents and aiding government departments.
He said it can independently explore the internet, retrieve facts in real time, and offer context-aware responses.
Calling on Indian tech firms to adopt the new model, Siddhant claimed that embracing Natural Intelligence could reduce the country's reliance on foreign algorithms and potentially save up to $5 billion annually.
Whether Natural Intelligence will redefine the future or fade as a bold experiment remains to be seen.
