| Every agent aspiring to human level intelligence, every AGI agent, must
be capable of a theory of mind. That is, it must be able to attribute mental
states, including intentions, to other agents, and must use such attributions
in its action selection process. The LIDA conceptual and computational model
of cognition offers an explanation of how theory of mind is accomplished
in humans and some other animals, and suggests how this explanation could
be implemented computationally. Here we describe how the LIDA version of
theory of mind is accomplished, and illustrate it with an example taken
from an experiment with monkeys, chosen for simplicity. |
