Ascribing Mental Qualities to Machines

Ascribing mental qualities like belief s, intentions and wants to a machine is sometimes correct if done conservatively and is sometimes necessary to express what is known about its state. We propose some new deenitional tools for this: deenitions relative to an approximate theory and second order structural deenitions.

如果谨慎操作，将诸如信念、意图和需求等心理特质赋予机器有时是正确的，而且有时对于表达对其状态的了解也是必要的。我们为此提出了一些新的定义工具：相对于近似理论的定义以及二阶结构定义。
