PREFICE
Recently, I learned about General Artificial Intelligence and the implications it will have in our lives. The array of opinions crosses the full spectrum from the wonderful ways it will improve our lives to the fear it could unleash a ‘Self-Controlled Superintelligence’ that may not align itself with human social and ethical constructs. This subject is fast moving rocket and it is important that everyone understands some key terms when it comes to Artificial Intelligence. Whether you know it or not, AI touches your lives today and in future, will increase exponentially as it exerts this massive influence in our lives.
In addition, being a student of Economics and Business, I always seek to refresh my knowledge of key terms in these areas. Economics, Business and Politics overlap a great deal in academia and in real-world applications. Artificial Intelligence will add for the better bringing the fields of Business, Politics and Economics together for the betterment of society.
Contained within is a small list of common terms in the areas of Economics, Business and Artificial Intelligence. Political terms are not included here but you will read some definitions of Economics that do have an overlap of political inferences.
I hope these terms and definitions provide some insight into the world of economics, business, and artificial intelligence. They all affect your lives more than you realize.
CHAPTER 1
ECONOMIC Terms (A-D)
Acid Test Ratio
The Acid test compares a company’s position with short term assets to short term liabilities to see if there is enough cash to pay immediate debt problems. Ideally a ratio of 1 or greater indicates a firm’s ability to pay. Can also be applied to Individuals as a litmus test of one’s ability to pay short term debt at any given time.
Absolute Advantage
A concept of international trade. If country A is better at making cars than country B, and B is better at making furniture than A, it makes sense for each country to focus on the area where they have this advantage, and then trade cars for furniture. Usually, an abundance of raw materials helps countries attain this type of advantage for what they can produce most profitably.
Active management
A form of Investing that attempts to outperform other investors, (such as Investment Managers operating large ETF’s or Mutual Funds) by selecting a limited number of assets and trading them regularly. As opposed to Passive Mgt like investing in an Index fund where stocks and investments are predetermined already, and change is not a predominant feature.
Adverse selection
A risk associated with most types of insurance. People who are worried about their health will be more inclined to pay for health or Life insurance than those who are very fit. Often with higher premiums. One way to avoid the problem is to make insurance compulsory for all, as happens with Group Benefits Plans.
Agency costs
The expense involved in using a third party to carry out a task. Examples include hiring a fund manager to look after an investment portfolio, or the cost to Taxpayers of having a Nursing agency provide Nurses directly to Health care facilities in Canada.
Aggregate demand
This is a macroeconomic term that measures the total amount of demand for all finished products and services in an economy. Four components make this up and include Consumer spending, Investment spending, Government spending and Net exports. Demand can fall, even if people’s income and wealth are unchanged or even increase, if they decide to save, rather than spend.
Agriculture
The cultivation of crops and the tending of animals for the purpose of supplying food to the population. For many centuries, this was one of mankind’s primary economic activity.
Alpha
That part of an investment return that is due to the skill of the fund manager. This can be very hard to measure. Note to achieve this, see above on ‘Active Management
.
Amortisation
The gradual reduction in the value of an asset (or a debt) over time. A debt (such as a mortgage) is amortised via regular repayments. Companies use amortisation to steadily reduce the value of Intangible assets on their balance-sheets.
Appreciation
The rise in the value of an asset. Your Home is often described as appreciating when the value of real estate rises. Conversely, depreciation is fall of an asset over time.
Asset
Something that can be used to create economic value. Your home or your Car. An asset can be tangible, such as your home, a business building and machinery or intangible items, such as a patent, goodwill, or a brand name. Assets make up one side of a company’s balance-sheet; the other is liabilities.
Asset stripping
The practice of buying a company and rapidly selling off the component parts with the aim of making a profit. This often leads to great disruption in the business and a loss of jobs.
Asset value
One measure used by investors to calculate the worth of a company. Normally, a company’s debts are deducted to calculate a net asset value. The same measure can be applied to Individual households to help determine financial health.
Auctions
Usually associated with the sale of livestock, antiques,
