How are AI terms used in laws, regulations, regulatory guidance and policy in the EU and the UK?

The Burges Salmon AI Law, Regulation and Policy Glossary is a selection of key AI terms and their definitions (with links to sources), identifying where they are found in current and anticipated UK and EU laws, regulations, regulatory guidance and UK AI policy.

What's new? This version includes:

• updates for the AI Act as enacted (see our flowchart for navigating the Act here) and
• proposed UK regulation, including the Public Authority Algorithmic and Automated Decision-Making Systems Bill.

This glossary is a useful guide for private companies, public organisations, regulators and legislators who:

• want a reference guide to AI terms;
• are interested in how and where terms relevant to AI are being used in law, regulation and policy; and/or
• are preparing to comply with the various current and future regulations that will affect how they build, buy, sell and govern AI systems.

Information is correct as at the first publication date of this version.

If you would like to discuss how current or future regulations impact what you do with AI, please contact Tom Whittaker, Brian Wong, Lucy Pegler, Martin Cook or any other member in our Technology team.
