Understanding arises from right causal powers
Systems capable of semantic understanding and intentionality must have at least the same causal powers as brains. Brains have sufficient causal powers to produce understanding: it's an open empirical question whether other materials (eg silicon) do.
John Searle 1980a, 1980b, 1990b.
