Abstract :
A machine´s functionings and people´s capability to use the machine are merged into a common platform tied with A. Sen´s (1995) basic principle of social welfare science. This principle says that a person´s well-being depends on his or her capability to function in a given environment. This capability is earned by the person as a set of interrelated functionings. With this principle, it is argued that a machine´s operation and credibility can be understood with intelligent reasoning. This intelligence does not require much of the machine´s knowledge; instead, it requires awareness of the human functioning space and the capability set earned in this functioning space
