Authoritative Readings and Resources#
These resources extend the supplied learning chapters in AINS6005 AI Ethics, Law & Policy. They were selected because they are primary standards, official documentation, open textbooks, or authoritative institutional guidance—not unsourced link lists.
How to Read Them#
For each module, read the supplied chapter first. Then use the two linked resources at the end of that chapter to test terminology, compare the course’s worked example with an authoritative treatment, and identify one point that should change or qualify your recommendation. Students are not expected to read every linked document cover to cover.

Source-Use Standard#
Assignments should distinguish among measured notebook evidence, course-provided synthetic evidence, claims supported by these sources, and the student’s own professional judgment. Cite the specific page, section, control, or documentation topic used; a bare homepage link is not adequate evidence.
