Artificial Intelligence Management
International standard for artificial intelligence management systems. Specifies requirements for responsible AI development and use, covering governance, risk, transparency, and continual improvement.
ISO/IEC 42001 is the first international standard for artificial intelligence management systems, specifying requirements for organisations that develop, provide, or use AI-based products and services. It addresses responsible AI governance, risk management, transparency, explainability, and the societal implications of AI deployment.
The standard introduces AI-specific concepts including the AI system impact assessment, AI-related objectives and controls (Annex A), and requirements for managing the unique risks associated with machine learning and automated decision-making systems.
ACI-certified ISO/IEC 42001 auditors evaluate AIMS design and AI risk management practices, assess the adequacy of human oversight mechanisms, and review compliance with AI governance requirements.
