D6

A use case is a bounded description of an intended AI use in a stated process and context, including its system objective and people or groups likely to be affected.

Review status: 2027-02-24

Technical explanation

It turns a general capability into a stated intended use that can be assessed against its process and context.

Conceptual boundaries

The cited NIST design activities are not a universal template for every business proposal or vendor demonstration.

Provider-neutral example

A team can specify that an assistant drafts internal meeting summaries from approved notes, with a named reviewer, prohibited inputs, and a route for referring uncertain claims to a senior review.

Limitations

The cited EU assessment requirement is not a universal assessment rule for use cases.
