Would it be helpful for this concept to have a more unique term to separate it from the storm of AI X (X being any item, e.g. AI refrigerators)? For example, would this concept be more easily communicated with a term such as an “orchestrated operating system” meaning an operating system that is orchestrated by some form of artificial intelligence?

My hope is that AI OS is already unique enough vs. other AI X concepts. Very interested in your argument against this though. My worry about using e.g. 'orchestrated operating system' is that it doesn't have AI in the name - even if the definition means 'orchestrated by AI' as you suggest. I do like using 'orchestrated' though! I'd also admit that I don't think the term 'AI' is very precise (hence the footnote) - a tension there between trying to speak plainly and trying to be precise.

My mistake, by “unique” I meant not broad of a term, as in unique in concept. AI is itself broad as it can mean a digital personal assistant or even just the artificial intelligence of a calculator or a recommendation algorithm. I think creating a more specific term may help your argument by saying something like this using orchestrated operating system as an example: Orchestrated operating systems utilize AI technologies to mitigate the invasiveness of online advertising. This would convey to me there is a new concept, a new generation operating system, that utilizes AI and its umbrella of technologies to reach a goal that a traditional operating system does not. My main point was to try to cut through the broadness of the term and give it more precision.
