Abstract

AI is a complex, multifaceted concept and is therefore hard to define because AI can refer to technological artifacts, certain methods or a scientific field that is split into many subfields and that is continuously changing and evolving AI systems can therefore be seen as digital artifacts that require hardware and software components and that contain at least one learning or learned component, i.e., a component that is able to change the system’s behavior based on presented data and the processing of this data.
