Cardholder Data Environment (CDE)

Ethical AI Governance is the establishment of a comprehensive organizational framework, extending beyond strict legal compliance, that integrates ethical principles into the entire AI lifecycle, fostering a culture of responsible innovation and proactive risk stewardship as encouraged by the EU AI Act.

Privacy-Preserving AI refers to the principle and set of technical practices that align AI system development with data protection laws, requiring that AI systems—especially high-risk ones—are designed from the outset to minimize the collection and exposure of personal data, thereby upholding the principles of data minimization, purpose limitation, and integrity.

Fairness and Bias Mitigation constitute a core set of mandatory requirements under the EU AI Act, obliging providers of high-risk systems to proactively address risks of discrimination by employing appropriate data governance and technical measures throughout the system's lifecycle.
