Leadership Perspective: Train your MIND before you Train DATA!!!

In simple understanding, it is a fundamental requirement that training the  “DATA” is critical for Artificial Intelligence (AI). But here is my thought on “Should we not train our mind to ensure we can train data? “Our mind is the screen that is on a constant flux of changes as a function of our inherent variable of senses starting from intellect, ego, greed, pride etc. Based on our mindful thinking ; Action is performed which creates the data to be used for AI and by AI.

 Train your Mind so that you may generate the Best Data for AI to ensure “ethical” “performing” models in this ecosystem of overloaded information for the greater good collectively for the generation to use.

Here are some simple 5 things to practice which needs only “YOU” as a tool your Internal Energy to act. As per the teachings of “Advaita Vedanta” philosophy… I have tried to carve through interconnectedness of enquiry into the “Truth” (read it as True data)  

 First is to “Dissociate” Your “Self” from your ego. Carry that attitude to reflect upon your action; thereby understanding your need for cognitive thinking. Hence, you get into a position to discriminate the permanent from impermanence.

Second is to be “Dispassionate “of the output, that is getting generated post your action. If this is practiced, you are basically passionately doing the job without any kind of attachment and hence your mind is trained to accept whatever the resultant output is.

Third is to practice “Sama”; “Dama” & “Uparama” which is the ability to have a mastery over mind; control over your external sense whereby you arrive at the state of merged mind with the “Self”.  It is to ensure that your sense does not control the “movie that you want to see” instead; you should try to show the movie; by asking the right question of the action you are doing with no attachment on the output (practicing discrimination & dispassion). As a result, the generated output will always be “ethical” by nature for collective goodness.

Finally, one should always practice the art of Forgiveness or forbearance in the form of “Titiksha”. This will help you to walk lighter; think brighter and act better. There is no royalty to carry the luggage that makes your mind claustrophobic and your senses irritable leading to a delusionary intellect. When you practice “ Titiksha” you will be “ unperturbed” by the ever changing either favorable or unfavorable situations. This will aid in doing the “ Right Action at the Right Time” and as a result, the generated “ Data” through your Actions to be used by others will always be “ Ethical”
