摘要

大多数关于认知支架的描述都集中在外部结构支持或增强主体认知能力的方式上。我们把用户的利益被服务于良性支架的情况称为良性支架，而争论恶意支架的可能性和现实。这是一种脚手架，它依赖于与良性情况下相同的代理对外部结构进行认知利用的能力，但它在为另一个代理的利益服务的同时破坏或利用了用户。我们制定了脚手架具有敌意的标准，并通过参考示例(包括电子赌博机和赌场管理系统的设计特征)来展示敌意脚手架的存在，并且可以非常有效。在这种情况下，脚手架是深刻的，并允许卸载重要的认知工作，敌对脚手架剥削性地操纵认知过程本身。鉴于人类对脚手架的依赖程度，这是一个重要而被忽视的弱点。

Hostile Scaffolding

Abstract Most accounts of cognitive scaffolding focus on ways that external structure can support or augment an agent’s cognitive capacities. We call cases where the interests of the user are served benign scaffolding and argue for the possibility and reality of hostile scaffolding. This is scaffolding which depends on the same capacities of an agent to make cognitive use of external structure as in benign cases, but which undermines or exploits the user while serving the interests of another agent. We develop criteria for scaffolding being hostile and show by reference to examples including the design features of electronic gambling machines and casino management systems that hostile scaffolding exists and can be highly effective. In cases where the scaffolding is deep and permits the offloading of significant cognitive work, hostile scaffolding exploitatively manipulates cognitive processing itself. Given the extent of human reliance on scaffolding this is an important and neglected vulnerability.
