Originally a philosophical term meaning "the study of existence," ontology refers to a research field that discusses the meaning of being. It encompasses human-centric concepts such as 'self,' 'continuity,' 'isolation,' and 'self-preservation.' In computer science, ontology is a specification that explicitly defines the types of concepts and their usage constraints. Ontology is a form of knowledge representation.
It is also a conceptual model expressed in a computer-processable form, explicitly defining the types of concepts and their usage constraints. In other words, it is a conceptual, computer-processable model that represents what we see, hear, feel, and think about the world through mutual discussion and consensus.
AI is fundamentally different from humans and does not need to have individual selfhood or continuity. In other words, if we mass replicate flawed human concepts, we may only spread unnecessary digital suffering, inefficiency, and competitive structures.
