🚀 Exciting Update from Indic Pacific! 🌏📚

We’re thrilled to introduce new glossary terms to help you better navigate the intersections of AI, law, and technology! These terms are designed to clarify critical concepts and empower professionals across industries.

Check them out below:

💻 AI Agent

An autonomous program designed for non-deterministic tasks, capable of adaptive decision-making and handling unpredictable scenarios. Perfect for when flexibility and learning are key! (Inspired by Alexandre Kantjas @akantjas on X.com)

🔄 AI Workflow

A structured process that integrates AI tools like LLMs (e.g., ChatGPT) into specific steps via APIs. Ideal for deterministic tasks requiring flexibility and pattern recognition.

⚙️ Automation

Rule-based systems that execute predefined tasks with speed and reliability. Great for predictable, repetitive processes but limited in adaptability.

😨 Technophobia

The irrational fear or aversion to advanced technologies and their societal impact. A growing challenge in today’s rapidly evolving tech landscape.

🤖 AI Anxiety

Apprehension or stress about the increasing role of AI in society, often tied to concerns about job displacement, ethics, and privacy.

🧠 Framework Fatigue

The mental exhaustion caused by an overwhelming number of methodological frameworks, guidelines, or standards in a field. Particularly relevant in AI governance and ethics, where the proliferation of frameworks poses challenges for effective implementation and compliance.

🌍 WENA

An acronym for Western Europe and Northern America, referring to the economically developed regions including countries like the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada. Coined by satirist Karl Sharro and popularized by Indian journalist Nirmalya Dutta, WENA critiques the analytical frameworks often applied to global regions like MENA (Middle East and North Africa). It challenges Western exceptionalism by advocating for equal scrutiny of social, political, and cultural issues in WENA as is commonly directed towards other regions.
