Is A.I. more than the sum of its parts?

It also does not require any "awareness" or "understanding" or "intention" to accomplish a given outcome, on the part of whatever is doing the deceiving. Which means that we can't infer the presence of any of those things based on observing deception in this sense.

Agreed. I like these sorts of definitions because they directly address real risks without getting bogged down in these “fuzzy” concepts. We can discuss deceptive AI and agree if something meets this definition without having to agree if it is intelligent. And more importantly, we can start to track it, test for it, and hopefully mitigate it.
