ISO Reference Pack for AI Compliance
A free-to-read reference pack on the ISO/IEC standards most relevant to building and governing AI systems responsibly. Every guide below is an original summary written by On The Ground, with a citation back to its source — not a copy of the source text.
Compiled to accompany App Design in Legal, an SMU Academy course conducted by trainers from Straits Interactive. The course — its scope and choice of standards — originates from Straits Interactive's trainers (Harish Pillay, Mario Novello, and Cyndi Chua), not from On The Ground. This pack is independently-compiled reference material supporting that course, not the course material itself. Practitioner summaries below are OTG's paraphrase of secondary interpretations, not the ISO/IEC standard text, which is paywalled. See Methodology for sourcing rules and what was excluded from each source during rewriting.
