Abstract
The article examines 36 lexical units on the example of eight articles published on the online news resource CNBC in the Business sector dated in the first half of February 2023. The phrases under analysis refer to the topic of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The relevance of this research is due to the popularity of the topic. The subject of the research are the key lexical units used in the articles to present and identify two selected categories: AI as a threat and unsettlement and AI as a competition and economic changes. The work aims to select and study the received vocabulary for further grouping in order to reflect the understanding of the AI process within two categories. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the quality of the material (contemporary business English publications), as well as an attempt to establish the key functional groups in the world of Artificial Intelligence due to the selected categories. The main method of the research is an inductive approach to the analysis of empirical material, in which conclusions are based on the study of specific lexical units. The result of the analysis reveals a general view of the key functional groups represented by selected lexical units. The results of the research can be used in further linguistic analyses on the given topic as well as have practical usage in language classes studying the topic of Artificial Intelligence.
