    Geoff Osborne Congratulations on a well-argued case that could serve as an exemplar for Ideas posted on Probably42. You've tackled the Why, Who, Where and When, but not the What of AI (or IA).

You've tackled the Why, Who, Where and When, but not the What of AI (or IA). The term is banded about a lot at the moment but I wondered if you had any particular scope in mind.

I suspect there is a lot of misuse of the term AI among the media and I don't believe the Amazon example of 'Customers who bought this........' is actually AI. rather than address this in a comment response I think it might be worth writing it as a separate document. I'll add a link when I've done it. Tony

    David Sinclair It's very good and there's nothing to add to Geoff's comments. The navigation is easy and it follows a clear pattern and is logical. So all in all, the whole thing is a success!

    Tony Clack Still worth reading this but there is now a fuller document prepared as a submission to the House of Lords Select Committee on Artificial Intelligence. Just scan the documents in the Proposals section to view it.
