AI technical documentation

Documentazione tecnica AI

AI technical documentation is the structured set of information a provider must prepare and keep up to date on an AI system, particularly if classified as high-risk, to demonstrate to authorities and users how the system was designed, trained, tested, and how it must be used correctly.

Definition

How it works

Complete technical documentation typically includes a general description of the system and its intended purpose, information on the data used for training and its provenance, accuracy and robustness test results, the risk management measures adopted, instructions for use aimed at the deployer, and information on the human oversight capabilities provided. It must be drafted before market placement and updated when the system is substantially modified.

Applications

For companies, producing this documentation requires coordination between the teams developing the model and those handling regulatory compliance, often complicated by the fact that much relevant technical information (data composition, architectural choices, known limitations) must be gathered progressively during development, not reconstructed after the fact. Deficient documentation is among the most common causes of non-compliance found by supervisory authorities.

History & etymology

The model draws on technical documentation already long required for other regulated products in Europe, such as medical devices, where traceability of design choices has for decades been a necessary condition for demonstrating the safety of a complex product.
