Conceptual Framework

The conceptual landscape of Artificial Intelligence is dynamic and the large debate around AI implications on different sectors and levels raises questions about the ambiguity between different concepts such as AI, AGI, Emerging technologies, Advanced technologies, technology and technics etc. This ambiguity is more complicated when using these concepts in different scientific disciplines. This first chapter is dedicated to the conceptual framework for three reasons: The first one is the lacke of a common definition of AI and all related concepts. The second reason is the ambiguity and links between all these concepts. The third reason is the need to put these concepts in international relations and international law context considering that they are used differently depend on the context and scientific fields.
