摘要

This theoretical article explores the convergence of Eastern philosophical traditions, particularly Taoist water wisdom, with Indigenous knowledge systems to propose a conceptual framework for situationally grounded and ethically reflective artificial intelligence (AI) integration in organisational contexts. Through a narrative literature review spanning Eastern philosophy, Indigenous knowledge traditions, and AI implementation research, we advance a “Water Wisdom” framework that offers alternative perspectives to prevailing Western cultural logics of technological transformation. The theoretical synthesis articulates five interrelated principles that guide situated pathways of organisational AI integration: yielding as strength, following natural pathways, adaptive persistence, reflective stillness, and transparent clarity. This work contributes to expanding cross-cultural perspectives in AI scholarship by centring non-Western philosophical traditions and furnishes conceptual tools for reimagining organisational relationships with AI technologies beyond current instrumentalist models.
