The international dictionary of AI — defining what words like 'machine learning', 'neural network', and 'explainability' mean in a technically precise and internationally agreed way.
The international dictionary of AI — defining what words like 'machine learning', 'neural network', and 'explainability' mean in a technically precise and internationally agreed way.
ISO/IEC 22989:2022 (Artificial intelligence — Concepts and terminology) provides a comprehensive taxonomy of AI concepts used across the ISO/IEC AI standards portfolio. It defines foundational terms including AI system, machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, explainability, interpretability, and bias. The definitions align with and inform the EU AI Act Article 3 definitions and the OECD AI Principles. The standard is developed by ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 42 and serves as the definitional anchor for the broader AI standards ecosystem.
Legal, compliance, and governance teams can use ISO/IEC 22989 to establish precise, internationally recognised definitions in AI policy documents, contracts, and audit frameworks — reducing definitional disputes.
Like a medical terminology standard (ICD or SNOMED) — providing precise, shared definitions that enable clear communication between different stakeholders working in the same domain.
