Abstract

Globalization is an intensification of the global interconnectedness that manifests itself in the form of movements of people (and of communications and ideas), goods and services, and capital. AI is the branch of computer science dedicated to creating machines that are able to think like humans. It’s about taking the unique abilities of the human brain to understand, react, and interpret and incorporating those abilities into computers and other devices. Different phases of globalization have been devised. The three following characteristics can define AI: 1. Intentionality, which means that the AI system takes intentional decisions, rather than merely being programmed with predetermined responses. 2. Use of intelligence, often coming from interaction with machine learning and data analytics programs. 3. Adaptability, which means that AI systems adjust as they receive new data, make decisions, and interpret the outcomes.
