Abstract

Without bringing to bear the precision that only formal logic can provide, seeking to avoid adverse behavior on the part of any type of artificial agent, however otherwise commendable, is simply proto-scientific wishful thinking. In particular, absent a formal definition specifically of “autonomous artificial computational agent,” the category of creature Hancock tries to place centrally before us, mere intuitive discussion in natural language, accompanied by intuitive diagrams (such as Hancock’s impressionistic Figure 2), however otherwise elegant, is, at least as I see matters, thoroughly otiose.

评论:缺乏基于逻辑的精确性，汉考克所期望的回避只是一厢情愿的想法

不考虑只有形式逻辑才能提供的精确性，试图避免任何类型的人工主体的不良行为，无论在其他方面多么值得赞扬，都只是原始科学的一厢情愿。特别是，在没有“自主人工计算代理”的正式定义的情况下，汉考克试图把生物的类别放在我们面前的中心，仅仅是用自然语言进行的直观讨论，伴随着直观的图表(如汉考克的印象主义图2)，无论如何优雅，至少在我看来，是完全无用的。

期刊介绍： Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is a multidisciplinary journal defining and reporting on fundamental research in human-computer interaction. The goal of HCI is to be a journal of the highest quality that combines the best research and design work to extend our understanding of human-computer interaction. The target audience is the research community with an interest in both the scientific implications and practical relevance of how interactive computer systems should be designed and how they are actually used. HCI is concerned with the theoretical, empirical, and methodological issues of interaction science and system design as it affects the user.
