Critical Conversations about AI: A Glossary for Big Questions and Bold Ideas

This glossary emerges from key insights gained at the Action AI Summit in Paris in February 2025, where international colleagues identified the need for a resource that goes beyond conventional definitions. By exploring rarely discussed terms within the AI ecosystem, this glossary serves as an engaging and thought-provoking tool designed for professionals, educators, policymakers, and curious minds alike.

Each term is presented with a clear definition, concrete examples, and open-ended questions that invite deeper reflection and dialogue. The goal is to encourage ongoing conversations about the intersection of technology and society within an educational framework.

The Critical Glossary is a living document, continuously evolving and updated annually to integrate fresh insights and new perspectives on the social and philosophical dimensions of technological advancements.
