Intentionality is a Design Decision: Measuring Functional Intentionality for Accountable AI Systems
Researchers propose the Functional Intentionality Test (FIT), a measurement framework for quantifying autonomous, goal-directed behavior in AI systems as a design-contingent property rather than consciousness. The framework enables standardized assessment of intentional-like behavior across five observable dimensions, enabling proportionate oversight and accountability mechanisms for increasingly agentic AI systems.
