Why machines prefer intelligent reasoning from all users? Amartya Sen: because they belong to the human functioning spaces

摘要

A machine's functionings and people's capability to use the machine are merged into a common platform tied with A. Sen's (1995) basic principle of social welfare science. This principle says that a person's well-being depends on his or her capability to function in a given environment. This capability is earned by the person as a set of interrelated functionings. With this principle, it is argued that a machine's operation and credibility can be understood with intelligent reasoning. This intelligence does not require much of the machine's knowledge; instead, it requires awareness of the human functioning space and the capability set earned in this functioning space.
