Why does the belief desire intention model distinguish desires from intentions?

  • A.Desires are held by the designer and intentions by the agent
  • B.An intention is a commitment that constrains further deliberation
  • C.Desires are learned from experience while intentions are programmed
  • D.Intentions are always achievable whereas desires may not be

Answer: B

An agent that reconsidered every option at every step would never accomplish anything, so adopting an intention closes off deliberation and directs effort until the intention is achieved or explicitly dropped. Knowing when to reconsider is the model's hard problem. Learning, achievability and ownership are not the distinction. Committing to a course of action, at the cost of ignoring alternatives, is a genuine feature of bounded rationality rather than a defect of it.
