Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere, promising self-driving cars, medical breakthroughs, and new ways of working. But how do you separate hype from reality? How can your company apply AI to solve real business problems?
Here’s what AI learnings your business should keep in mind for 2017.
Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving CarsLinkedIn
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.

20090524 Quotable Quotes And Comments To Tune Your Mind to Becoming Better ...viswanadham vangapally
It is said that we are our thoughts. Thoughts are stored in our mind. Whatever we do, we have to do it with our mind – fully tuned. Otherwise, whatever we are doing will not be observed, received, heard, remembered, and recollected to apply, experience and expand. Thus, tuning our mind, to the task on hand, is the most important first thing we must concentrate. Without tuning our mind, we cannot hope to get the best results.
This presentation, titled Quotable Quotes and Comments to tune your MIND to becoming better, must be considered as a companion presentation to the one titled as Becoming Better.
This coming Sunday, the 24th instant, I am invited as the Chief Speaker for the 107th meeting [ on Personality Development ], being organized by Shiridi Sai Baba Sansthan, Shivam Road, Vidyanagar, Hyderabad. I will be using this “Quotable quotes …”

2. Interview with Devotees Excerpts from an interview given in late November 2009 to overseas devotees from New Zealand Many instructions & lessons for all devotees here
3. Baba: What's new? Ask questions Devotee: Baba, we come from such long distance, travelling thousands of miles to see you. Please bless us.
4. Baba: No, not thousands of miles; you have not even travelled an inch! Have you made the journey inside your heart? You have not even started yet, how can you say you've travelled so many miles....only a physical journey.
5. What about your spiritual journey, still having trouble starting? First, go inside to see Baba in your heart and then come here.
6. Devotee: But I'm trying hard to make that journey, still too many starting troubles, Swami. Baba: Yes, Yes, I'm aware of all your plans and weaknesses.
7. Your first enemy is Anger! Get rid of it and the journey to God will begin right away. Begin with a lot less luggage and it will be a smooth journey.
8. Until you get rid of anger and jealousy, you'll not succeed. These are the invisible devils that dance within you and torture you. Too much anger...Baba has nothing to do with you, right?
9. Devotee: How do we get close to you, Baba? Baba: Distance is only in your imagination!
10. You are always close to me when you realise that I'm in your heart. But until that happens, I remain here and you remain there, thousands of miles apart. No connection is made.
11. Practice what I want you to do and then I'm yours automatically. Eliminate your anger and jealousy; sublimate your ego and purify your heart... and I'm there.
12. Have you ever thought of practicing at least one idea, one teaching from Me? Do it, Do it, Do it! Then surely success will come and grace will flow.
13. Devotee: Swami, how do we get your Grace? Baba: Grace is always there like the ever-shining sun. When you open the windows of your house to the Sun, light floods in removing all darkness. The amount of light depends on how wide you open the window.
14. In the same way, My Grace will depend on how broad your heart is, how expansive your love is. You have too much anger in you! Remove all the evil qualities, then all will be divine.
15. Devotee: How do we work for Sai's mission as true servants of the Lord? Baba: For this Baba has given you the Sai Organisation. Make use of it to your best capacity by doing service, by devotion and by being loving to all.
16. Sometimes you're very impatient with the Organisation. I know, I know, I watch everything... Baba makes rules and regulations for a specific purpose. Without rules, without discipline, soon it becomes a zoo!
17. Discipline is the watchword in any spiritual path. Sai Organisation is not like Rotary or Lions Club!! It is not a family club; it is a purely spiritual and service organisation.
18. The very name SAI stands for : S = Spiritual Transformation, A = Association (Social) Change I = Individual Transformation ... all these have to be achieved through the Organisation.
19. But if you're not interested in transformation, better to stay home and not waste your time.... time is precious, life is speeding fast, make best use of every minute. Make every minute the best minute for you and all around you .
20. Have as few connections as possible. Have few attachments as possible. There is only God... Wife, husband, daughter, son, this, that....all are mere passing clouds. Fix your attention on God only. Focus on God, do selfless service and be happy.
21. Devotee: What about the Golden Age, Swami? Baba: Yes, what about the Golden Age? When is it coming? It comes only when your behaviour is Golden, your attitude is Golden, when your heart is Golden!
22. Lead exemplary lives. As members of the Sai Organisation, I want you to have good behaviour, good conduct. Remove anger, remove jealousy, remove falsehood and enmity, stay far away from the wicked and the manipulative...and then the Golden Age will begin.
23. Lust, anger, hate, jealousy, and selfishness - these are the strands that weave a cobweb around you. Clear these and you are free – Blemish-less.
24. Devotee: Is bhajan a good antidote to all evil qualities? Baba: Yes, only if it's done with love...love for God and love for all round you. No use singing like a nightingale, when you are acting like a crow!!
25. Don't make show like cinema stars. It will be waste of time for everyone! First bring love inside you, and then the love that comes out through your voice will touch God.
26. Pay strict attention to Bhava, Raga, Tala (Feeling, Melody, and Rhythm) that will touch God and transform all who listen. Keep it vibrant and don't let it drown in sorrow and pity...God doesn't want your pity, God wants your joy. Now talk is over, too much talking is not good.
27. Devotee: Before we leave one last question? Baba: Yes, you may ask anything.
28. Devotee: What should be our daily medication for a divine life? Baba: Medication or meditation? You need both. Be good, do good, see good...
29. Don't fight, stick to the discipline of Sadhana (spiritual practice), sing the Name of God always; Love All, Serve All... Accept everything that happens to you as the will of God done for your own good...then no worry, no pain.
30. But first, always act with dignity... That you are God, Not animal, not animal.
31. Devotee: Swami, what's the first step in Sadhana (spiritual practice)? Baba: Silence, silence of all the senses...now go and practice Swami's words and don't waste time in gossip. I bless, I bless all.
