Abstract	In the 21st-century educational landscape, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has profoundly impacted teaching-learning methods, assessment systems, and curriculum development processes. At this time, school curriculum development has become more than just a means of acquiring knowledge, but also a foundation for life skills, innovation, and value-based education. The Indian Knowledge System (IKS) holds a special place in the Indian education tradition, encompassing a rich repository of the Vedas, Upanishads, philosophy, mathematics, Ayurveda, astronomy, yoga, and ethical values. The New Education Policy 2020 clearly emphasizes the need to integrate the Indian knowledge system into the curriculum at the school level. However, curriculum development in the age of artificial intelligence faces numerous challenges. The primary challenge is striking a balance between traditional knowledge and modern technological education. The second challenge is to utilize digital resources and AI-based tools in a way that does not weaken Indian philosophical and cultural values, but rather strengthens them. The third major challenge is teacher training and sensitivity, as using AI-based teaching tools requires both technical proficiency and cultural perspectives. In addition, textbook development, the availability of multilingual resources, and the integration of local and global perspectives also pose challenges. The need today is for school curricula that prepare students for global competitiveness while also connecting them to Indian traditions and values. This research paper theoretically supports the idea that curriculum development in the AI era can be effective only if it incorporates the philosophical, ethical, and cultural dimensions of the Indian knowledge system, and if teachers are trained and empowered in this direction.
