Re: Knowledge representation for AI using domains or a universe of discourse

Excellent. And ChatGPT made recommendations about expanding, tweaking and
refining domains in line with my review of my initial list. I think we can
make additional refinements by adding a not exhaustive list of directives,
guidelines, legislation ( in casu EU, the Eu AI Act) currently existing in
countries worldwide for ethical, open, accountable,  trustworthy etc AI use.
