The World's First AI Management Standard

What Is ISO/IEC 42001?

ISO/IEC 42001:2023 is the world’s first international standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS). It provides a comprehensive framework for organisations to establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve responsible AI governance. The standard is designed to help businesses manage the unique risks and opportunities that come with developing, deploying, or utilising AI-based products and services.

• Risk Assessment: Focuses on identifying and mitigating AI-specific risks, including bias, privacy, and unintended behaviour.
• Data Governance: Ensures data quality, provenance, and security throughout the AI lifecycle.
• Lifecycle Management: Covers all stages from AI conception to deployment and ongoing operation.
• Human Oversight: Requires meaningful human control and intervention in AI systems.
• Performance Monitoring: Ongoing assessment and proactive issue detection.
• Ethics & Transparency: Emphasises ethical AI development, transparency in decision-making, and stakeholder trust.
