What this object links to

Every relation appears below as a path: from the source with its locator, through the conditions and exceptions of the object carrying the relation, to the consequence. A locator belongs to a statement in the data and not to a relation, so the source is the source anchor of the carrying object.

What this object states

Official fact

Attributable to a named primary source, with a locator. Where they differ, the official source prevails.

The Commission guidelines on the definition of an AI system use this case to draw the line between software that does and does not fall under the regulation. The document is non-binding.

Our interpretation

Our own reading. It can change without the law changing, and it is not the position of a supervisory authority.

If you rely on the basic data processing category, look at the whole lifecycle rather than the use phase alone, because that category assumes no learning, reasoning or modelling at any stage.
