Further details
intelligent-agent annotation requires the annotated mention to involve actual ambiguity between the person and plan types, most typically arising from authors’ intentional use of terms that are ambiguous between the two. Mentions that can only be understood as referring to people are instead annotated as person, and mentions that can only be understood as referring to software are instead annotated as plan, regardless of claimed level of intelligence.
