Why it matters in practice
The label matters because the Act associates different governance duties with different system categories. Classification therefore starts with a concrete description of intended use and the relevant provisions, then receives appropriate legal and technical review. This glossary does not determine whether any particular system is covered or satisfies a requirement.
Example
A team evaluates a proposed decision-support use against the Act’s classification rules instead of assuming the same model has one risk category in every context.
