The "intentional stance" is a philosophical concept introduced by the philosopher Daniel Dennett. It refers to an approach we adopt when trying to understand the behavior of others—be they humans, animals, or even artificial intelligences—by treating them as if they have beliefs, desires, and intentions. When we assume the intentional stance, we interpret actions and behaviors based on the premise that the entity in question has mental states that guide its actions.
