Machine Learning

What is Machine Learning?

A branch of artificial intelligence that enables systems to learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed. Machine learning algorithms build models from training data to make predictions or decisions.

Each of these is named in at least one of the same controls as machine learning. The number is how many controls name both.

What the standards actually require on machine learning

Requirements naming machine learning across 6 standards, quoted from the control text.

Machine learning sub-systems embedded in wider IT systems follow a risk-based life cycle framework aligned with the GAMP phases, with data management starting in the concept phase because data is the key resource, performance metrics acting as the technical sp...

Questions people ask about machine learning

What is Machine Learning?
A branch of artificial intelligence that enables systems to learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed. Machine learning algorithms build models from training data to make predictions or decisions.
Why is Machine Learning important for compliance?
Machine Learning is a key concept in AI & Technology. Understanding machine learning helps organizations meet regulatory requirements, reduce risk, and demonstrate due diligence during audits. Our compliance platform maps 1,016 frameworks with 316K cross-framework control mappings.
Which compliance frameworks address Machine Learning?
Machine Learning appears in the requirement text of GAMP 5 - Good Automated Manufacturing Practice, ISO/IEC 23894:2023, FFIEC IT Examination Handbook, EDM Council CDMC - Cloud Data Management Capability Framework, ISO 21448:2022. Across these standards we have identified 10 controls that name it directly, each linked to the control text on the compliance platform.
Where can I learn more about Machine Learning?
Explore our compliance framework pages to see how machine learning applies across different standards and regulations. Our implementation guides provide step-by-step guidance, and the compliance platform offers AI-powered analysis of how this concept maps across 1,016 frameworks.
