Overview
EN ISO/IEC 22989:2023 (ISO/IEC 22989:2022) defines core artificial intelligence concepts and terminology for information technology. The standard establishes a common vocabulary and conceptual framework for AI - covering terms related to data, machine learning, neural networks, trustworthiness, natural language processing, and computer vision. Intended for use across sectors, it supports consistent communication among developers, regulators, standards writers, procurement teams and other stakeholders. EN ISO/IEC 22989:2023 is the European adoption of the international ISO/IEC document and is applicable to all organization types.
Key topics
- Standardized terminology: comprehensive terms and definitions grouped by topic (AI general, data, machine learning, neural networks, trustworthiness, NLP, CV).
- AI concepts: foundational concepts such as agents, knowledge, cognition, symbolic vs subsymbolic approaches, soft computing and genetic algorithms.
- Machine learning taxonomy: supervised, unsupervised, semi‑supervised, reinforcement, transfer learning, training/validation/test data, trained models and retraining.
- Neural networks and algorithms: descriptions of key algorithm families and examples used in AI systems.
- Trustworthiness and governance: concepts like robustness, reliability, resilience, controllability, explainability, transparency, bias and fairness, and verification/validation.
- AI system life cycle: a life‑cycle model and staged processes for AI system development, deployment and maintenance.
- Application domains: terminology and concepts for NLP and computer vision to align cross‑discipline communication.
Practical applications
- Standards development: provides the foundational vocabulary to draft consistent, interoperable AI standards and technical specifications.
- Procurement and contracts: clarifies expectations by using agreed definitions for capabilities, requirements and metrics.
- Regulation and policy: assists regulators and legal teams in interpreting laws and guidelines with consistent meanings for AI terms.
- Engineering and testing: helps engineers, QA and validation teams align on lifecycle activities, data roles, model definitions and trustworthiness criteria.
- Education and training: useful for curricula and corporate training to ensure consistent understanding of AI concepts.
Who should use this standard
- Standards bodies and technical committees
- AI system designers, architects and developers
- Regulators, auditors and compliance teams
- Procurement officers and contract managers
- Academic researchers, trainers and policy makers

Introduction
Advancements in computing capacity, reduction of costs of computation, availability of large amounts
of data from many sources, inexpensive online learning curricula and algorithms capable of meeting or
exceeding human level performance in particular tasks for speed and accuracy have enabled practical
applications of AI, making it an increasingly important branch of information technology.
AI is a highly interdisciplinary field broadly based on computer science, data science, natural sciences,
humanities, mathematics, social sciences and others. Terms such as “intelligent”, “intelligence”,
“understanding”, “knowledge”, “learning”, “decisions”, “skills”, etc. are used throughout this document.
However, it is not the intention to anthropomorphize AI systems, but to describe the fact that some AI
systems can rudimentarily simulate such characteristics.
There are many areas of AI technology. These areas are intricately linked and developing rapidly so it is
difficult to fit the relevance of all technical fields into a single map. Research of AI includes aspects such
as aspects including “learning, recognition and prediction”, “inference, knowledge and language” and
[23]
“discovery, search and creation”. Research also addresses interdependencies among these aspects .
The concept of AI as an input and output process flow is shared by many AI researchers, and research on
each step of this process is ongoing. Standardized concepts and terminology are needed by stakeholders
of the technology to be better understood and adopted by a broader audience. Furthermore, concepts
and categories of AI allow for a comparison and classification of different solutions with respect
to properties like trustworthiness, robustness, resilience, reliability, accuracy, safety, security and
privacy. This enables stakeholders to select appropriate solutions for their applications and to compare
the quality of available solutions on the market.
As this document does provide a definition for the term AI in the sense of a discipline only, the context
for its usage can be described as follows: AI is a technical and scientific field devoted to the engineered
system that generates outputs such as content, forecasts, recommendations or decisions for a given set
of human-defined objectives.
This document provides standardized concepts and terminology to help AI technology to be better
understood and used by a broader set of stakeholders. It is intended for a wide audience including
experts and non-practitioners. The reading of some specific clauses can however be easier with a
stronger background in computer science. These concerns are described primarily Clauses 5.10, 5.11
and 8, which are more technical than the rest of the document.
