The aim of the Guidelines is to promote Trustworthy AI. Trustworthy AI has three components, which should be
met throughout the system's entire life cycle: (1) it should be lawful, complying with all applicable laws and
regulations (2) it should be ethical, ensuring adherence to ethical principles and values and (3) it should be robust,
both from a technical and social perspective since, even with good intentions, AI systems can cause unintentional
harm. Each component in itself is necessary but not sufficient for the achievement of Trustworthy AI. Ideally, all
three components work in harmony and overlap in their operation. If, in practice, tensions arise between these
components, society should endeavour to align them.
