Artificial intelligence has dramatically changed the world as we know it, but is yet to fully embrace 'hot' cognition, i.e., the way an intelligent being's thinking is affected by their emotional state. Artificial intelligence encompassing hot cognition will not only usher in enhanced machine-human interactions, but will also promote a much needed ethical approach. Theory of Mind, the ability of the human mind to attribute mental states to others, is a key component of hot cognition. To endow machines with (limited) Theory of Mind capabilities, computer scientists will need to work closely with psychiatrists, psychologists and neuroscientists. They will need to develop new models, but also to formally define what problems need to be solved and how the results should be assessed.
人工智能已经极大地改变了我们所熟知的世界，但尚未完全接受“热认知”，即智能生物的思维方式受到其情绪状态的影响。包含热认知的人工智能不仅将迎来增强的人机交互，还将推动急需的伦理方法。心智理论，即人类思维将心理状态归因于他人的能力，是热认知的关键组成部分。为了赋予机器（有限的）心智理论能力，计算机科学家将需要与精神科医生、心理学家和神经科学家密切合作。他们不仅需要开发新模型，还需要正式定义需要解决的问题以及如何评估结果。
