Title: There Aren't Any Real Belief-Desire Intention Theories
Out There ...
But Mine!! (And really, I'm not too sure about
mine.)
Over the last 20+ years, a number of researchers in AI have presented
accounts of agents and architectures for agents that those researchers have
called "Belief-Desire-Intention" (BDI) models. I think very few, if any,
of those accounts deserve the name. While a dispute over names is unlikely
to be either illuminating or profitable, I will argue that there are quite
important issues at stake -- not with respect to naming conventions, but
with respect to how one thinks about agents. This will involve my sketching
an account that really is a BDI account, and if time allows, relating some
of the issues raised to issues that once precipitated great debates among
statisticians of different stripes.
