POLMANITAI: 500 Begriffe für KI, Politik und öffentliche Institutionen

Abstract

POLMANITAI presents a bilingual conceptual atlas for artificial intelligence, politics, democracy, public administration and governance. Its 500 German-English working entries address institutional mandates, democratic deliberation, policy questions, evidence, options, decision support, rule drafting, public information, participation, accessibility, provenance, transparency, accountability, procurement, evaluation, continuity, resources and international cooperation. The ambition is a globally usable vocabulary for precise and accountable public reasoning across languages and institutional settings. Each entry has paired German and English definitions, a German constructed example, a countercase and an explicit boundary. Twenty thematic chapters contain 25 entries each. Examples use fictional public documents and neutral institutional situations. The collection excludes operational applications in medicine, military affairs, surveillance, manipulation and individual assessment. It provides conceptual distinctions rather than an empirical impact study, jurisdiction-specific legal advice or an officially adopted glossary. Selected OECD, UNESCO and W3C primary passages provide bounded context; reading scopes appear in the references. Sources are not reproduced as glossary translations and their institutions do not endorse POLMANITAI. Five hundred counts editorial entries, not 500 historically new inventions, validated disciplines or certified semantic cores. Cross-work core reuse must be consolidated conservatively in any larger concept count. Worldwide relevance is the editorial selection aim, not an empirically established global ranking. The DOI identifies this dated version and does not establish peer review, exclusivity or a guarantee of legal priority. The release provides a PDF, plain text, definitions JSON and bounded references JSON.
