Ameliorated Future - Introduction
An introduction to Ameliorated Future - what is the column about?


Ameliorated Future I - Is thinking only computational?
Is thinking only computational? Computer scientists may think that the borderline between organic and artificial intelligence is getting blurred. But it seems that they are far away from reality. It seems that intelligence is not just computational but involves levels of consciousness, which remains an enigma for science.


Ameliorated Future II - The Future of languages
From cravings on caves to an organized library of words. The journey of language has witnessed many milestones. The goal was clear, methods were different and impacts were impetuous. What's next - communicating thoughts?


Ameliorated Future III - Brainy Systems
Intelligent AI programs do not need algorithms. They require methods in order to solve problems in a non-computational manner. How AI will achieve this will decide the fate of machine intelligence in the future.


Ameliorated Future IV - The Question of Intelligence
What really do we want from our future? Are we heading in the direction we are supposed to? Do we really have a goal and a path to follow? The future as it seems, would be a jugglery of the game played by the masterpiece of intelligence – our brain, keeping us baffled with the idea of being conscious and alive.


Ameliorated Future V - Patenting Human Conciousness
Will the non-computational characteristics of Human consciousness be ever be replicated by the digital circuitry? Science which itself is a by-product of such consciousness has still to find its existence amidst the deep mystery of the human mind. How science will achieve this is surely going to be an exciting event to watch in the human history. Witnessing how mind will out perform itself could be the milestone next only to the creation of universe.


Ameliorated Future VI - Rationales of Beauty - An Ontology Beyond Venus
The question of identifying a possible link between beauty, simplicity and empirical studies has always been eluding. The evolution of aesthetic perception and their acceptance depends on inexplicable inspirations or epiphanies, and not entirely on a prescribed agenda of thoughts. This abstract sense of identifying patterns is one of the few quiet roles a mind plays, lashing together the unthinkable complexities of miscellaneous global bricolage to give definition and meaning to one of the important aspects of human life. This paper explores how the human mind formulates, conceptualizes beauty and projects its intelligent aspects.
