Living document
A governance artifact, such as a US exposure map, that must be re-verified over time because the underlying law changes without any change to the product. The federal layer (rescinded orders, removed guidance) and the state layer (repealed and replaced statutes) both require ongoing re-verification, especially the fast-moving state layer.
Defined in 2 GAGE programs, which carry 10 distinct definitions of it. The wording above is taught in AI Governance: Applied Mastery.
How each discipline defines it
The same term does different work depending on who is using it. These are the definitions as each program teaches them, unedited.

The framework's own description of itself, meaning its guidance is expected to be revised over time rather than treated as a fixed, permanent standard, which is the reason this program builds a 90-day review-by discipline into any content referencing it (ESTABLISHED, IMDA MGF v1.5; as of 15 August 2026).
The MGF's own description of itself: a framework expected to keep changing as agentic AI, and the incidents and lessons around it, evolve. It moved from launch to a hardened v1.5 in under four months, which is why this program's own content is reviewed on a ninety-day cycle.
The framework's own description of itself on page 4, meaning it is expected to be revised as agentic AI practice matures. Proven in practice by version 1.5's own revision, from 20 May 2026 to 5 June 2026. A commitment about ongoing maintenance, not a disclaimer about current reliability.
A regulatory or framework instrument explicitly designed to be revised over time as circumstances, technology, or incidents that reveal its weak points continue to arrive, rather than published as a fixed, final text. The IMDA describes its Model AI Governance Framework for Agentic AI this way.
