AI Compliance

The adherence of AI systems to applicable laws, regulations, and ethical guidelines throughout their lifecycle.

Definition

The end-to-end assurance that AI systems meet all legal, regulatory, and internal policy requirements—from data collection through model retirement—including documentation, reporting, and controls.

Real-World Example

A fintech firm’s fraud-detection AI automatically redacts PII before storage, logs all decision rationales for audits, and produces quarterly compliance summaries for regulators—demonstrating continuous adherence to AML, GDPR, and internal data-governance policies.
