System, authority, and institution
Artificial intelligence

Limitations
Not the same as
- human intelligence
- self
- authority
- truth

Methodological relevance
In technology audit, the model frame, data basis, thresholds, user responsibility, appeal access, and correction of error must be identified.
Sources and principal occurrence
Source note: The entry supports D6 and T5's distinction among system, model, representation, and responsibility.
- T5 — Models and RepresentationThe sustained theory document on models, measurement, simulation, validation, and assignment.
