AuI
Glossary.
Every key AI and AuI term defined in plain language — no jargon, no assumptions.
Augmented Intelligence (AuI)
The practice of using artificial intelligence to extend and enhance human intelligence — not replace it. AuI treats AI as a tool in service of human judgment, creativity, and wisdom.
AuI Score
A 5-dimension self-assessment measuring your AI fluency across Awareness, Tool Fluency, Prompting Skill, Ethics & Safety, and Global Sovereignty. Scored 0–100.
Large Language Model (LLM)
An AI system trained on vast amounts of text data to understand and generate human language. ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini are built on LLMs.
Prompt / Prompting
The text instruction you give to an AI system. Prompting skill — the ability to write clear, structured, effective prompts — is one of the most valuable skills in the AI age.
Hallucination
When an AI system generates confident-sounding but factually incorrect information. A key risk to understand and check for in any AI-generated content.
AI Sovereignty
The right of individuals, communities, and nations to understand, question, and govern the AI systems that affect their lives — regardless of where those systems were built.
The Five Worlds of AI
Abhishek Singh's framework (Chapter 25) describing how geography, language, and power divide global AI users into five distinct realities with different rights, capabilities, and risks.
Agentic AI
AI systems that can take autonomous actions — browsing the web, running code, sending emails — without step-by-step human instruction. Covered in Part VI of AuI.
Deepfake
AI-generated synthetic media (video, audio, or images) that realistically depicts real people saying or doing things they never did. A key AI safety risk covered in Chapter 24.
Chain-of-Thought Prompting
A prompting technique that instructs an AI to reason through a problem step by step before giving its final answer — producing more accurate and reliable results.
