Researchers Propose New Definition of AI to Bridge Disciplines and Enable Collaboration
-
Researchers found that social science studies often define AI differently, so they created a broad, interdisciplinary definition as a starting point.
-
The definition states AI is the capability of machines to perform tasks, solve problems, communicate, interact, and act logically like humans.
-
Definitions vary across disciplines based on context; communication may focus on generating text or media, while computer science focuses on system capabilities.
-
The goal is an AI definition and framework that works across disciplines to enable connections and collaboration.
-
The framework evaluates AI based on performance level and autonomy level; both help understand AI's evolving relationship and impact on human society.
