System Intentionality and the Artificial Intelligence Hermeneutic Network: the Role of Intentional Vocabulary
نویسندگان
چکیده
Computer systems that are designed explicitly to exhibit intentionality embody a phenomenon of increasing cultural importance. In typical discourse about artificial intelligence (AI) systems, system intentionality is often seen as a technical and ontological property of a program, resulting from its underlying algorithms and knowledge engineering. Influenced by hermeneutic approaches to text analysis and drawing from the areas of actor-network theory and philosophy of mind, this paper proposes a humanistic framework for analysis of AI systems stating that system intentionality is narrated and interpreted by its human creators and users. We pay special attention to the discursive strategies embedded in source code and technical literature of software systems that include such narration and interpretation. Finally, we demonstrate the utility of our theory with a close reading of an AI system, Hofstadter and Mitchell’s Copycat.

The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Hermeneutic Network: A New Approach to Analysis and Design of Intentional Systems
Digital information technologies are increasingly being adopted in the humanities as both research tools and supports for new forms of cultural expression. Some of these digital technologies, in particular artificial intelligence (AI) programs, exhibit complex behaviors described as creativity, planning, and learning, behaviors usually seen as the territory of intentional human phenomena. This ...

متن کاملrecis of The Intentional Stance
The intentional stance is the strategy of prediction and explanation that attributes beliefs, desires, and other "intentional" states to systems living and nonliving and predicts future behavior from what it would be rational for an agent to do, given those beliefs and desires. Any system whose performance can be thus predicted and explained is an intentional system, whatever its innards . The ...

متن کاملUsing emotional intelligence to predict job stress: Artificial neural network and regression models
Introduction: These days, there is a consensus that emotional intelligence plays an important role in the success of individuals in different areas of life. Persons with higher emotional intelligence had lower stress in dealing with demands and pressures in the workplace. The purpose of this study was to use artificial neural network to predict job stress and to compare the performance of this ...
