ISO/IEC 23053 — the international standard, published in 2022, that provides a framework and common terminology for describing AI systems that use machine learning.
ISO/IEC 23053 gives a shared vocabulary and reference model for ML-based AI systems — components, the ML pipeline, and the ML process — so technical and non-technical stakeholders can describe systems consistently. It sits alongside ISO/IEC 22989 (concepts and terminology) and beneath ISO/IEC 42001 (the management system) in the SC 42 standards stack.
