Terms related to AI · 3.1
Terms related to AI
Thirty five entries set the core vocabulary: the AI system, its parts, its goals, its outputs and the main approaches. This is the group a policy usually reaches for first, and the group the generative AI amendment is expected to extend.
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 Terms related to AI 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
- Terms related to AI 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 Terms related to AI 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 Terms related to AI at the claim level "terms and definitions" and stops where the public record stops.
