Data science and AI glossary
A credible plain-language AI glossary from a leading UK research institute - useful for APS teams developing staff guidance or communications.
Key points
- The Alan Turing Institute publishes a plain-language glossary of data science and AI terminology.
- Glossaries from credible bodies like Turing can support APS capability uplift and staff communications.
- Extracted content is minimal - full value depends on the glossary's depth and coverage at source.
Implications for Australian agencies
- Consider APS teams developing AI capability uplift materials or plain-language policy guidance could consider referencing the Turing glossary as a credible definitional source.
Implications are AI-generated. Starting points, not advice — see methodology for how they're framed.

The Alan Turing Institute has published a data science and AI glossary aimed at making technical concepts accessible without jargon. The extracted text is sparse, so the full scope and depth of the glossary cannot be assessed from this item alone. Resources of this kind from reputable bodies can be useful reference material for APS practitioners developing internal capability uplift content, staff briefings, or policy guidance that requires accessible definitions of AI terminology.
Implications for Australian agencies:
- [Consider] APS teams developing AI capability uplift materials or plain-language policy guidance could consider referencing the Turing glossary as a credible definitional source.
