超越行为标志：AI意识评估中的因果表征验证

Abstract Current generative AI systems increasingly elicit attributions of understanding, emotion, and even consciousness. This creates an evidential problem for AI sentience assessment, because the behavioural and linguistic markers that motivate these attributions may be generated by multiple underlying processes. One source of uncertainty is the gaming problem: AI systems may satisfy sentience indicators because they have learned the relevant behavioural regularities. A further observer-side concern is that anthropomorphic or socially responsive behaviour may influence how strongly these ma
