An Argumentation Framework (AF) is a structured approach used in artificial intelligence (AI) to handle contentious information and draw conclusions from it using formalized arguments. It’s a key component in building AI-powered debate systems and logical reasoners.

• Building AI-powered debate systems
• Developing logical reasoners for decision-making
• Handling contentious information in natural language processing
• Supporting human-AI collaboration in complex decision-making tasks

For instance, an AF could be used to analyze and debate the merits of different climate change mitigation strategies, taking into account the perspectives of various stakeholders and the scientific evidence supporting each approach.
