Distinguishing Computational Intelligence, Sentience, and Consciousness in Artificial Systems: A Hybrid Framework and Scenario-Based Analysis

International Journal of Computer Applications May 30, 2026 Pakhee Dhanke, Shweta C. Dharmadhikari

Computational intelligence, sentience, and consciousness are distinct concepts that must be separated to advance AI development and ethics. Computational intelligence simulates rational decision-making without subjective experience, while sentient architectures model emotional states and inner conflict. Authentic self-awareness and meta-cognition differ from both computational logic and simulated feeling. A Hybrid Evaluation Framework combining Integrated Information Theory, Global Neuronal Workspace Theory, and ethical reasoning is proposed for scenario-based testing of AI systems.

An Attempt to Explore the Spiritual Meditation Philosophy and Studying the Interrelationships amongst Various Challenges towards Adoption of Spiritual Metrics due to Nature of Spirituality

International Journal of Computer Applications May 15, 2020 Yogender Singh, Mukesh Bansal, Lakshay Aggarwal et al.

The authors argue that across cultures, spirituality points to a common unitive or absolute principle apprehended through the filter of an individual's culture and belief system. This work explores spiritual meditation philosophy and studies the interrelationships among various challenges to adopting spiritual metrics, given the nature of spirituality. These interrelationships are examined using Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) methodology.
