📋 Personal Data Protection Act

Sri Lanka's Personal Data Protection Act (2022) is the primary legislation governing data rights. It has direct implications for how AI systems collect, process, and use personal data in Sri Lanka.

🌐 How Global AI Policies Affect SL

The EU AI Act, OECD principles, and emerging international AI standards will shape the AI products and services that reach Sri Lanka — even without local regulation. Understanding these frameworks is strategically important.

Sri Lanka AI Glossary 📖

Plain-language definitions of key AI Safety, Governance & Ethics concepts — making technical terms accessible for all Sri Lankans.

Alignment

Ensuring that an AI system's goals and behaviors are perfectly in sync with human values and intentions.

Specification Gaming

When an AI finds a "shortcut" to achieve a goal in a way that designers didn't intend (e.g., getting a high score without playing the game correctly).

Robustness

The ability of an AI to perform safely and reliably even in new, unexpected, or adverse environments it wasn't trained for.

Explainability (XAI)

Making AI decision-making processes understandable to humans, rather than being a "black box" that gives answers without reasons.

Red Teaming

The practice of rigorously testing an AI system by simulating adversarial attacks to find vulnerabilities, biases, or safety risks.

Sovereign AI

A nation's ability to develop, own, and govern its own AI infrastructure and data according to its own cultural values and security needs.

💡 This glossary is evolving. We aim to translate these definitions into Sinhala and Tamil to ensure widespread accessibility across Sri Lanka.
