Abstract

Within the EntityWorks Standard, AI Perception is the discipline concerned with how AI systems form, maintain, and express their understanding of people, organisations, relationships, and ideas. It describes representational behaviour at the level of structure and interpretation, without reference to model internals, implementation techniques, or system design choices. This definition is authoritative within the scope of the EntityWorks Standard. It does not assert exclusivity or supersede other uses of the term outside that framework.
