the meaning of "のこと" in this sentence


Ohayou, please i wanted to understand the exact meaning of this definition-
like sentence : "何か、機械とかに人間っぽいことをさせる、知能を持たせるみたいなまあ広い枠組みのことをAIと言って" And because
I found it difficult to really grasp the "のこと" part. Is it like "a thing of
wide frame" or "things about a wide frame". Arigatou




It is literally "a thing about a broad framework like...".

The usage of の is "concerning", but you could treat のこと as a whole meaning
"about".
