AI

What AI is

The abbreviation covers everything from rule-based systems to today's generative models, which is why it is often too broad to be useful on its own.

How it works

In practice, ask which kind of AI is meant — a classifier, a language model, a recommender — because the capabilities and risks differ completely.

Why it matters

Precision in terminology avoids most of the confusion in AI procurement and policy conversations.
