You’re most likely to see this word in a business or academic setting. “Conspectus” — from the Latin “conspicere,” meaning “to perceive” — refers to a summary of a more extensive topic or an outline of longer material. AI technology has given us more tools to provide a conspectus. A virtual meeting notetaker, for example, is capable of providing a brief conspectus of the discussion after the meeting. Or you may record a class lecture and use AI to generate a conspectus for you to study from later.
