AI concepts
The clause explains the ideas behind the vocabulary in eleven sections, from general concepts to machine learning concepts. It is conceptual guidance, not a set of shall requirements, and its body is not in the public preview.
What this clause settles
This clause is part of the map of the document. The page states what the clause covers, what the public record proves and where the text stops, so a reader can plan without guessing at the missing part.
Who it binds
The organisation that adopts the vocabulary. The clause is not a shall requirement; the claim level states what it is.
What to do in your practice
Use the clause as the index for the vocabulary work. Take the terms it covers, match them to the artefacts where they appear, and record the places with no artefact as the first work items.
Evidence an auditor or regulator asks for
- A policy map that names AI concepts and the clause it comes from.Shows the clause was read and placed, not merely cited.
- A controlled vocabulary register with an owner and a review date for each entry in the clause.An auditor asks who keeps the vocabulary current, not only whether it exists.
- One live artefact that uses a term from the clause correctly, with the date it was checked.Connects the vocabulary to the work rather than to a shelf document.
Common gaps this page catches
- AI concepts is cited without the entries behind it, so the citation cannot be tested.
- The clause is cited in a policy without the terms behind it, so the citation adds authority but not meaning.
What to prepare before the amendment lands
Take the clause into the next review, list the artefacts that rely on it and give each a named owner. The list is the plan; the owner is the control.
How to test it here
Take one live artefact rather than a template, find the sentence or field where AI concepts is used, and put this page beside it. Record the answer, the artefact and the date, because that record is the evidence and a glossary entry on its own is only an intention.
What this page does not claim
The page does not reproduce the standard, certify the firm or predict the wording the amendment will use; it states AI concepts at the claim level "concept clause (body not public)" and stops where the public record stops.
Common questions
- What does AI concepts mean in ISO 22989?
- The clause explains the ideas behind the vocabulary in eleven sections, from general concepts to machine learning concepts. It is conceptual guidance, not a set of shall requirements, and its body is not in the public preview.
- What evidence should we keep for 5?
- A policy map that names AI concepts and the clause it comes from. A controlled vocabulary register with an owner and a review date for each entry in the clause.
- Is AI concepts a requirement?
- No: AI concepts is a definition or clause of a terminology standard, and it becomes binding only when a firm writes it into a policy, a contract or a procedure, or when another standard incorporates it.
