Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies are rapidly transforming industries and becoming increasingly integrated into business operations. However, the growing adoption of AI also introduces concerns relating to ethics, transparency, accountability, cybersecurity, bias, and regulatory compliance.
ISO/IEC 42001:2023 is the world’s first international standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS), providing organisations with a structured framework to establish, implement, maintain and continually improve AI governance practices.
The standard enables organisations to manage risks and opportunities associated with AI systems while demonstrating responsible, transparent and trustworthy AI practices to stakeholders, regulators and customers.
What is ISO/IEC 42001:2023?
ISO/IEC 42001:2023 specifies requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS) within an organisation.
The standard is applicable to organisations of all sizes and sectors that:
- Develop AI systems
- Provide AI-enabled products or services
- Use AI technologies within business operations
- Manage or govern AI-related activities
ISO/IEC 42001 adopts a risk-based and governance-focused approach to ensure AI technologies are developed and used ethically, responsibly and securely.
