Embodiments relate to a computer system, computer program product, and computer-implemented method to train a machine learning (ML) model using artificial intelligence to learn an association between (regulatory) compliance requirements and features of micro-service training datasets. The trained ML model is leveraged to determine the compliance requirements of a micro-service requiring classification. In an exemplary embodiment, once the micro-service has been classified with respect to applicable compliance requirements, the classified micro-service may be used as an additional micro-service training dataset to further train the ML model and thereby improve its performance.
