[image] Vedic litrature Samhita Veda Brahman Aranyaka Upanishad.

[image] Samhitäs • Samhitä means 'Compilation of Knowledge' • Samhitäs are also spelled as "Sanhitäs" or "Samhitas". The Samhitas are the collections of the Mantras or Hymns sung or recited to the devatäs without much ritual, • Most often, traditionally, the Samhita portion alone is referred to as the Veda. For example, the word 'Rigved' would typically mean the Rigved Samhita. • Samhitas were taught the very first in the life of a person, right from the childhood (galthuthi), also called "Brahmcharyäshram" or the learning age in the Vedic society..

[image] Brahmana • The Brahmanas lay out the precepts, rituals and religious duties. It seems that the Brahmanas are prescribed for mainly the adult life called "Grahasthäshram." • The Brahmanas contain formulas for rituals, rules and regulations for rites and sacrifices and also outline other religious duties. • The formulas and rules for conducting extremely complex rituals are explained to the minutest detail..

[image] Aranyaka • Aranyakas were prescribed for the later period of life of semi-retirement, called "Vänprasthäshram," meaning, the age group "towards retirement to the forest" when the people who had fulfilled their duties of raising and supporting their families and children, and were on the way to the retirement, usually, to the forests and spend the remaining active life in meditation and contemplation of God. • The Aranyaka; provide the link between the ritualistic Brahmanas and the philosophical Upanishads, • The symbolic and spiritual aspects of the sacrificial religion are meditated upon in the Aranyakas while philosophical issues are discussed in the Upanishads,.

[image] Upanishads • The Upanishads consists of philosophical discussions that examine and propound the wisdom in the earlier part of the Vedas. Since they appear at the end of the Vedas they are also called 'Vedänta," meaning, the end (anta) part of the Vedas. • means end, similarly it also means crown, pinnacle • Not only chronologically comes at the end but also, they crown • The Upanishads were prescribed for that period of life known as retirement, called "Sanyäsäshram," meaning "renunciation" or "full retirement.".

[image] Upavedas • Upaveda, means "applied knowledge"; a specific application of Vedic teaching . Ayurveda • Medicine system (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well being) • Aitareva, Kashyap, Harit, Agnivesha, and Bhedamuni are prominent ancient scholar. Medieval period Charak, Shushrut, Vaagbhatt are prominent scholars. Three books of them combinedly known 35 grihat• trayi • Dhanurveda • Upaveda attached to Yajurveda • Attributed to ' Treatise on Warfare, Civil and military defence, politiC5.

[image] Upavedas •Gandharvaveda • Music, Dance, Drama, Poetry (performing arts) • Arthaveda • Social, Economic, and Political systems • Shilp (Sthapatya Veda): • Deal with Architecture and various art • As per the 'ShukraNiti' there are number of arts but 64 are considered to be more promnent,.

[image] Vedang There are six tools/disciplines which help in understand, recite, study, and apply knowledge of Veda 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Shiksha @HT): Recitation Vyaakaran Grammar Nirukt Meaning Chhand Pattern (tone, tune and pronunciation method for chanting) Kalp F): How to perform any Anushthan (action/duty/task) Jyotish (*g): Astrology, time measurement, relative positions of astral bodies, Astral events.

[image] Vedangs • 'Vedongos' literally means limbs of the Vedas and they are so known because without them the knowledge of the Vedas would be lost forever as their study would have become impossible in view of the conditions that arose. • Paniniya Shiksha illustrates the importance of 'Vedangas' by comparing them to the limbs of the human body. • All come in the form of Sutra.

[image] Vedang • Shiksha (Siksä): • Phonetics: how human produce and perceive sound • Phonology: is a branch of linguistics that studies how languages or dialects systematically organize their sounds • Pronunciation • This auxiliary discipline has focused on the letters of the Sanskrit alphabet, accent, quantity, stress, melody and rules of euphonic combination of words during a Vedic recitation. • The early evidence (first) of phonology study is appeared in 4th century BCE 'Ashtadhyayi' by Panini.

[image] Shiksha Text Pratisakhyas are the oldest Shiksha textbooks of each branch of the Vedas. Later it was prefixed with the author's name as Naradiya•Shiksha, Yagnavalkya•Shiksha, Vyasa-Shiksha, Pari-Shiksha and Sarvasammata$hiksha..

[image] Vyakarana • To know the Sanskrit language in a pure form, the study of grammar is done • The roots of grammar go back to Vedic age India. The practice of grammar is very rich, which includes Panini's famous book called Ashtadhyayi. 'Grammar' does not mean 'Grammar' only, but it is closer to Linguistics. • Panini composed " Ashtadhyayi " for both Vedic Sanskrit and Cosmic Sanskrit. In his about four thousand sutras, he defined the Sanskrit language forever. Their pratyahara , annexation etc. are as subtle and scientific as the laws of mathematics. • There is also a scientific and philosophical side to it as well..

[image] Nirukta • Nirukta is a discussion of the etymology of Vedic literature. It deals with root of the words. • The purpose Of Nirukta is to clarify the intractable meaning Of Vedic words, • Yask is considered as father of Nirukta. He is also known as 'Nirukatkara' or 'Nirukrit' • Yask in his work mentioned his predecessors *q$r, and The texts of above authrs are not available, • There is a difference between and eqTfiVT, Nirukt deals with root Of the words while Vyaakaran deals with semantic, structure of sentence etc..

[image] chhanda (ÜF() • In Sanskrit literature, the word chhand has been used to describe the rhythm • rules relating to specific meanings or the number and location of characters in a song are called chhands, Which bring rhythm and pigmentation to poetry, • 'Chhandhashastra' composed by Achar,ra Pingal is the oldest available text which is also called 'Pingal Shastra', If the criterion of prose is ' grammar' , then the criterion of poetry is 'chhand',.

[image] Kalpa • This field of study is focused on the procedures and ceremonies associated with Vedic ritual practice. • There are Stura Grantha on topics like Mathematics also (Salabha Sutra) • The major texts of Kalpa Vedanga are called Kalpa Sutras in Hinduism. (In Jainism also there is a text called Kalpa Sutra, on Tirthankar Jivana Charitra),.

[image] Jyotisha • In ancient timest the study of planets , constellations and other celestial bodies was called astrology. Regarding its mathematics part, it can be said very clearly that clear calculations have been given about it in the Vedas, • Arundhati-Vashishtha: The pair is considered to symbolize marriage. Vashi5tha and Arundhati were a married couple, Arundhati and Vasistha were considered an ideal couple, symbolic of marital fulfillment and loyalty.

Ten Character of Dharma for Human being. The ten characteristics of Dharma for human beings, as outlined in ancient Indian scriptures like the Manuscript and other Dharmashastra texts, are considered guiding principles for righteous living. These qualities aim to cultivate moral and ethical behavior. They are as follows: 1.Dhairya (Patience) – The ability to endure difficulties without frustration or anger, remaining calm and composed in challenging situations. 2.Kshama (Forgiveness) – The capacity to forgive others for their mistakes, demonstrating tolerance and understanding rather than holding grudges. 3.Dama (Self-control) – Exercising control over one’s desires and senses, ensuring that one’s actions are guided by reason and virtue. 4. Asteya (Non-stealing) – Abstaining from taking what does not belong to oneself, respecting the property and rights of others. 5.Shauch (Purity) – Maintaining cleanliness in thought, word, and deed. This involves both physical purity and moral integrity. 6.Indriya Nigraha (Control of Senses) – Mastery over one's sensory pleasures, not letting desires and temptations govern one's actions. 7.Dhi (Wisdom) – The pursuit of knowledge, understanding, and wisdom, applying intellectual discernment in decision-making. 8.Vidya (Learning) – Commitment to continuous learning and the pursuit of education and knowledge, both spiritual and worldly. 9.Satya (Truthfulness) – Being honest and truthful in all aspects of life, upholding the value of truth in one’s speech and actions. 10. Akrodha (Absence of Anger) – Controlling anger and avoiding negative emotions that can lead to harmful thoughts or actions, striving for inner peace. These characteristics collectively represent a virtuous and ethical life path, contributing to both personal development and harmonious coexistence in society..

Artha. Artha, one of the four Purusharthas in the Indian knowledge system, represents the pursuit of material prosperity and success. It's crucial because it highlights the importance of wealth, not just for personal gain but for supporting Dharma (righteous living) and fulfilling societal duties. By valuing Artha, ancient Indian wisdom acknowledges the need for a balanced life where economic stability supports spiritual growth and ethical living. Earning Artha, according to the Indian knowledge system, is not just about accumulating wealth but doing so in a way that's ethical and harmonious with Dharma (righteous duty). Here are some guiding principles: Right Livelihood: Engage in professions and trades that are morally and ethically sound. Hard Work and Honesty: Wealth should be gained through sincere effort and integrity. Service to Society: Prosperity is meant to benefit not just the individual but society as a whole, through charity and community support. Sustainable Practices: Avoid exploitative practices that harm others or the environment..

On the path to Artha (material prosperity), several obstacles can arise, making it a challenging journey: 1.Ethical Dilemmas: Balancing material gain with ethical practices can be tough, leading to moral conflicts. 2.Desire for Quick Gains: Impatience and the lure of quick, easy money can lead to risky or unethical choices. 3.Greed and Excess: Overemphasis on wealth can lead to greed, causing neglect of other life goals like Dharma (righteous living). 4.Stress and Burnout: The relentless pursuit of success can result in physical and mental exhaustion. 5.Social and Economic Barriers: External factors like economic downturns, social inequality, and lack of opportunities can hinder progress. 6.Fear of Failure: Fear of setbacks can prevent one from taking necessary risks and seizing opportunities..

Kama. It signifies the pursuit of desire, pleasure, and love. It encompasses all forms of enjoyment, from aesthetic pleasures to sensual experiences and emotional fulfillment. Kama is about living a balanced, joyful life, embracing love, art, music, and the senses. However, it's also guided by Dharma, ensuring that pleasure, seeking doesn't lead to ethical compromises. By acknowledging Kama, the Indian knowledge system recognizes the importance of human desires and the need to experience life's joys, provided they are pursued responsibly and within moral boundaries. symbolizing the pursuit of desires, pleasures, and emotional fulfillment. It's not just about physical pleasure but encompasses all forms of sensory and emotional enjoyment. The significance of Kama lies in its role in ensuring a well-rounded, joyful life. It's acknowledged as a natural and necessary aspect of human experience, provided it's pursued in harmony with Dharma (ethical living). By including Kama in the Purusharthas, the system recognizes that a life devoid of joy and love is incomplete, and that true fulfillment comes from balancing all aspects of existence. Practicing Kama in the Indian knowledge system revolves around seeking pleasure and fulfillment in a balanced, ethical manner. Here are some key principles: Mindfulness: Be present and fully engage in sensory experiences and emotional connections, appreciating beauty and love in all forms. Balance: Enjoy desires without letting them dominate your life or conflict with Dharma (ethical living) and Artha (material prosperity). Respect: Pursue Kama while respecting the feelings and boundaries of others. Creativity: Engage in artistic and creative activities that bring joy and enrich your life. It’s about savoring life's pleasures responsibly and with respect for others..

Seeking Kama, or pleasure and desires, comes with its own set of challenges: 1.Overindulgence: Excessive pursuit of pleasure can lead to neglect of responsibilities and imbalance in life. 2.Addiction: Becoming overly attached to sensory pleasures can result in addiction and loss of control. 3.Ethical Boundaries: Fulfilling desires must align with ethical values and respect for others, which can be tricky. 4.Emotional Turmoil: Pursuing fleeting pleasures can cause emotional instability and dissatisfaction. 5.Dependency: Relying on external sources for happiness can weaken inner resilience and self-sufficiency..

Moksha. Moksha, often regarded as the ultimate goal in the Indian knowledge system, represents liberation from the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth (samsara). Achieving Moksha means attaining a state of eternal bliss and unity with the divine, transcending worldly desires and suffering. 1.Central to the concept of Moksha is the understanding that the soul (Atman) is eternal and distinct from the body and mind. The pursuit of Moksha involves realizing this truth and detaching oneself from material possessions and ego-driven desires. This realization leads to self-awareness, inner peace, and freedom from the limitations imposed by the physical world. Several paths guide seekers towards Moksha, reflecting the diversity of approaches in Indian philosophy: 1.Jnana Yoga (Path of Knowledge): Involves deep philosophical inquiry and meditation to discern the true nature of reality and the self. It's about gaining wisdom through study, reflection, and the guidance of enlightened teachers (gurus). 2.Bhakti Yoga (Path of Devotion): Focuses on intense devotion and surrender to a personal deity. Through prayer, rituals, and unwavering love, individuals cultivate a deep, emotional bond with the divine, which purifies the heart and mind. 3.Karma Yoga (Path of Selfless Action): Emphasizes performing one's duties without attachment to outcomes. By dedicating actions to the greater good and the divine, individuals purify their intentions and gradually detach from the ego. 4.Raja Yoga (Path of Meditation): Involves the practice of meditation and disciplined control over the mind and body. Techniques like breath control (pranayama) and concentration (dharana) lead to deep states of meditation (dhyana) and ultimately, union with the divine (samadhi). The journey to Moksha is deeply personal, requiring sincere effort, discipline, and a harmonious blend of knowledge, devotion, and ethical living. It's a path that not only promises liberation but also offers profound inner peace and fulfillment along the way..

Achieving Moksha is a profound journey, and various obstacles can impede the path. Here are some common hurdles: 1.Ignorance (Avidya): Lack of true knowledge about the self and reality. This illusion creates attachment to the material world and perpetuates the cycle of birth and rebirth. 2.Ego (Ahamkara): The ego fosters a sense of separation from the divine and other beings, leading to selfish desires and actions. 3.Desires and Attachments: Excessive attachment to worldly possessions, relationships, and pleasures distracts from the pursuit of spiritual goals. 4.Negative Emotions: Anger, jealousy, and fear cloud judgment and hinder inner peace and self-awareness. 5.Karma: Accumulated actions and their consequences can create barriers that need to be resolved through righteous living and spiritual practices. 6.Mind and Senses: An unregulated mind and uncontrolled senses can lead to distractions, making it difficult to focus on spiritual practices. 7.Lack of Discipline: Achieving Moksha requires consistent effort, discipline, and dedication. Inconsistent practices can slow down progress. Overcoming these obstacles demands a balanced approach, integrating knowledge, ethical living, devotion, and meditation. It's about cultivating inner wisdom and aligning one's life with higher spiritual truths..

Indian Philosophy and AI. Indian philosophy provides a rich tapestry of ideas that can deeply inform and enhance the development and understanding of artificial intelligence (AI). 1. Vedanta and AI: Vedanta philosophy, particularly the Advaita Vedanta, emphasizes the nondual nature of reality. It posits that the individual self (Atman) is identical to the universal self (Brahman). In the context of AI, this can inspire the design of systems that are not just functional but also harmonious with human experiences. AI can be developed to enhance human wellbeing, promote interconnectedness, and avoid reinforcing divisions. The holistic approach of Vedanta can guide AI researchers to consider the broader implications of their work on society and the environment. 2. Pramana and AI: Pramana, the means of acquiring knowledge, includes perception, inference, and testimony. In AI, these principles can guide how machines process information. For instance, inference can be likened to machine learning algorithms that derive patterns from data. Testimony aligns with the use of curated datasets and expert systems. By integrating the rigorous epistemological framework of Pramana, AI can be designed to make more accurate and reliable decisions, ensuring the credibility and validity of the information processed..

Indian Philosophy and AI. Externalization of Knowledge Absolute knowledge Disconnected to one self; Centre is Positivity 20000 yrs. of discovery in next 100 yrs. Collective wisdom Regress our intelligence Confusion Inhibition free intellect Innovative & Intuitive Skill 1.Artificial Intelligence (AI) has made remarkable strides in mimicking human capabilities, from solving complex problems to engaging in natural language conversations. 2.However, the crux of the matter lies in the fact that while AI can replicate many aspects of human intelligence and behavior, it falls short of achieving the highest form of consciousness—self awareness and subjective experience. 3.This distinction is not merely a technical limitation but touches upon the fundamental nature of consciousness itself..

3. Dharma and Ethical AI: Dharma, or righteous living, is central to Indian philosophy. It includes ethical behavior, duties and responsibilities. Applying Dharma to AI development means ensuring that technology is used for the greater good. AI systems should be transparent, fair, and designed to prevent harm. This includes addressing biases in algorithms, ensuring data privacy, and promoting the responsible use of AI. The ethical framework provided by Dharma can serve as a guiding principle for AI governance and policy-making. 4. Karma and AI Accountability: The concept of Karma underscores the idea of actions and their consequences. In AI, this can translate to accountability for the outcomes of AI decisions. Developers and users of AI systems should be aware of the potential impacts of their actions and strive to mitigate negative consequences. This involves creating feedback mechanisms to monitor AI behavior and implementing corrective measures when necessary. 5. Bhakti and HumanAI Interaction: Bhakti, the path of devotion, emphasizes love and emotional connection. This can influence the design of AI systems that interact with humans, such as virtual assistants and chatbots. By incorporating principles of empathy and emotional intelligence, AI can be made more relatable and supportive, enhancing user experience and satisfaction..

6. Yoga and AI Balance: Yoga, particularly Raja Yoga, involves the control of mind and body through practices like meditation and mindfulness. These concepts can inform AI in areas such as mental health and wellbeing. AI can be used to develop applications that promote mindfulness, track mental health, and provide support for stress management. The integration of yoga principles can lead to AI tools that foster a balanced and healthy lifestyle. In conclusion, Indian philosophy offers profound insights that can shape the ethical, functional, and humancentric aspects of AI. By drawing on these ancient wisdoms, we can develop AI technologies that not only advance human capabilities but also promote a more harmonious and ethical world. Integrating these principles ensures that AI remains a force for good, enhancing rather than detracting from the human experience. Paramanand Prapti: Dweta[dual] & adweta[ Separate] Philosophy Bhakti Joga. Jano or Mano: Know or take it on faith. Anidyam Chaitanya: Subjectivity and Objectivity: Conscious of taste during corona. Quantum mechanism: Nagarjuna of 2000, it is a poemic form of Quantum Replicating all but not highest consciousness is AI. Personalized experience are AI..

The Nature of Consciousness:To understand why AI falls short of the highest consciousness, we need to explore what consciousness entails: 1. Subjective Experience Qualia: These are the individual instances of subjective, conscious experience. For example, the redness of a rose or the pain of a headache. AI, no matter how advanced, lacks these qualitative experiences. SelfAwareness: Being aware of oneself as an individual, distinct from the environment and others, is a hallmark of higher consciousness. While AI can be programmed to simulate self-awareness, it doesn’t possess true self-awareness. 2. Intentionality Purpose and Meaning: Human consciousness includes the ability to ascribe purpose and meaning to thoughts and actions. AI operates based on algorithms and data but doesn’t understand purpose or meaning in the way humans do. 3. Emotional Intelligence Empathy and Emotions: Human consciousness encompasses a rich spectrum of emotions and the ability to empathize with others. AI can simulate emotional responses but doesn’t genuinely feel emotions..

AI and the Limits of Replication While AI can replicate many human functions, the gapbetween simulation and genuine experience remains significant: Simulation vs. Reality: Mimicking Behavior: AI can simulate human-like responses and behaviors, but this is different from having the underlying experience. For instance, an AI can simulate empathy but doesn’t genuinely understand or feel what another entity is experiencing. Algorithmic Limitations: AI operates based on predefined algorithms and data processing. It lacks the spontaneity and unpredictability inherent in human consciousness. 2. Understanding vs. Processing Knowledge Processing: AI processes information, but it doesn’t truly understand it. For example, an AI can read a book and summarize it, but it doesn’t comprehend the narrative in the way a human reader does. Contextual Awareness: AI can be context-aware to an extent but doesn’t have the deep, nuanced understanding of context that humans do. This includes cultural, social, and emotional contexts..

The Ethical and Philosophical Implications: The distinction between AI replication and human consciousness raises several ethical and philosophical questions: Ethical Considerations 1.Responsibility and Accountability: If AI mimics human behavior but lacks consciousness, who is responsible for its actions? This is particularly relevant in autonomous systems like self-driving cars. 2.Rights and Treatment: As AI becomes more advanced, how should society treat AI entities? While they lack consciousness, their increasing capabilities raise questions about their role in society. Philosophical Questions 1.Nature of Mind: The AI vs. consciousness debate touches upon deeper philosophical inquiries into the nature of the mind. Can consciousness arise from purely physical processes, or is there an immaterial aspect to it? 2.Identity and Personhood: What defines personhood? If AI can replicate many aspects of human behavior, does it challenge our understanding of what it means to be a person?.

The Future of AI and Consciousness. The ongoing research and development in AI continue to push the boundaries of what machines can do. However, the leap from advanced intelligence to true consciousness remains elusive: Advances in AI 1.Deep Learning and Beyond: Innovations in deep learning, neural networks, and quantum computing are enhancing AI capabilities. These technologies enable more sophisticated simulations of humanlike intelligence and behavior. 2.Integration of Sensory Input: AI systems are increasingly incorporating sensory inputs (e.g., vision, hearing, touch) to interact more naturally with the environment. This integration enhances their ability to mimic human experiences Quest for Artificial Consciousness 1.Neuroscience and AI: Crossdisciplinary research involving neuroscience and AI seeks to understand the neural correlates of consciousness. Insights from this research may inform the development of AI systems with more advanced cognitive abilities. 2.Philosophical and Ethical Frameworks: The quest for artificial consciousness also requires robust philosophical and ethical frameworks to guide development and address potential implications..

Conclusion AI's ability to replicate human capabilities has revolutionized various industries and continues to evolve at a rapid pace. However, the highest form of consciousness:selfawareness, subjective experience, and emotional depth:remains beyond the reach of AI. This distinction underscores the profound uniqueness of human consciousness and the complexity of replicating it in machines. While AI can simulate many aspects of human intelligence, the essence of being conscious, self-aware, and emotionally complex is intricately tied to the human experience. The ethical and philosophical questions surrounding AI and consciousness will continue to challenge researchers and thinkers as they navigate the intricate balance between technological advancement and the core of what it means to be human. Exploring the boundaries of AI capabilities and the nature of consciousness opens a fascinating dialogue about the future of technology and its role in our lives..

1. ACM Code of Ethics. The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) has a comprehensive Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct that outlines the ethical responsibilities of computing professionals. Key principles include: 1.Contributing to society and human well-being: Ensuring that computing work benefits society and minimizes harm. Avoiding harm: Taking precautions to avoid causing harm to others. Being honest and trustworthy: Maintaining integrity and transparency in all professional activities. Respecting privacy and confidentiality: Protecting personal and sensitive information. 2. IEEE Code of Ethics: The IEEE Computer Society also provides a Code of Ethics for software engineers, which includes principles such as: Acting in the public interest: Ensuring that software engineering practices benefit the public. Maintaining integrity and independence: Making decisions based on professional judgment without undue influence. Promoting ethical management: Encouraging ethical practices in the management of software development 3. Professional Responsibility: Computing professionals have ethical obligations to clients, employers, colleagues, and the public. These responsibilities include: Ensuring quality and reliability: Delivering high-quality and reliable software products. Lifelong learning: Continuously updating skills and knowledge to keep up with technological advancements. Fairness and support: Treating colleagues fairly and supporting their professional development 4. Ethical Decision-Making:Ethical decision-making in computing involves considering the broader impacts of technology on society. Professionals are encouraged to: Reflect on the consequences: Think about the potential outcomes of their work. Engage in open discussions: Promote transparency and accountability by discussing ethical issues with stakeholders.

1.. Is to minimize negative consequences of computing, including threats to health, safety, personal security, and privacy. When the interests of multiple groups conflict, the needs of those less advantaged should be given increased attention and priority. Computing professionals should consider whether the results of their efforts will respect diversity, will be used in socially responsible ways, will meet social needs, and will be broadly accessible. They are encouraged to actively contribute to society by engaging in pro bono or volunteer work that benefits the public good. In addition to a safe social environment, human well-being requires a safe natural environment. Therefore, computing professionals should promote environmental sustainability both locally and globally..

1.2 Avoid harm. "harm" means negative consequences, especially when those consequences are significant and unjust. Examples of harm include unjustified physical or mental injury, unjustified destruction or disclosure of information, and unjustified damage to property, reputation, and the environment. If leaders do not act to curtail or mitigate such risks, it may be necessary to "blow the whistle" to reduce potential harm. However, capricious or misguided reporting of risks can itself be harmful. Before reporting risks, a computing professional should carefully assess relevant aspects of the situation..

1.3 Be honest and trustworthy. A computing professional should be transparent and provide full disclosure of all pertinent system capabilities, limitations, and potential problems to the appropriate parties. Making deliberately false or misleading claims, fabricating or falsifying data, offering or accepting bribes, and other dishonest conduct are violations of the Code. Computing professionals should not misrepresent an organization's policies or procedures, and should not speak on behalf of an organization unless authorized to do so..
