论文摘要
发现在过去几十年中,研究人员在人工智能方面取得了长足的进步很容易。但是,我们与认知系统(例如Siri,Alexa,dall-e)的日常互动迅速从有趣到令人沮丧。这些挫败感的原因之一是由于我们固有的,民间心理学的理论与我们在现有计算机程序中遇到的实际局限性,我们的期望之间的不匹配。该软件不了解人们有目标,关于如何实现这些目标的信念以及采取相应行动的意图。使认知系统与我们的期望保持一致的一种方法是将它们与我们用来预测和解释人类行为的精神状态相融合。本文讨论了这些问题,并说明了通过分析精神状态的“意图”来遵循这一途径的挑战。该分析与高级方法论上的建议相结合,这些建议支持这项努力的进展。
Finding claims that researchers have made considerable progress in artificial intelligence over the last several decades is easy. However, our everyday interactions with cognitive systems (e.g., Siri, Alexa, DALL-E) quickly move from intriguing to frustrating. One cause of those frustrations rests in a mismatch between the expectations we have due to our inherent, folk-psychological theories and the real limitations we experience with existing computer programs. The software does not understand that people have goals, beliefs about how to achieve those goals, and intentions to act accordingly. One way to align cognitive systems with our expectations is to imbue them with mental states that mirror those we use to predict and explain human behavior. This paper discusses these concerns and illustrates the challenge of following this route by analyzing the mental state 'intention.' That analysis is joined with high-level methodological suggestions that support progress in this endeavor.
