What is Use Case?

Frameworks that govern use case
What the standards actually require on use case
Requirements naming use case across 6 standards, quoted from the control text.
Apply the AI Assessment Framework to an AI use case where registration determines an assessment is required, and refer every critical-risk and high-risk AI use case to the AI Review Committee for advice on risk management.
