ISO/IEC 42001:2023

ISO/IEC 42001:2023 is the international standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS). It provides a structured framework for organizations to responsibly govern and manage AI systems, addressing risks, ethics, and compliance requirements.

Use of ISO/IEC 42001:2023

ISO/IEC 42001:2023 helps organizations:

  1. Establish an AI Management System (AIMS)
    • Provides a governance model for the entire AI lifecycle: design, development, deployment, operation, and retirement.
  2. Integrate AI risk management
    • Identifies and mitigates risks specific to AI (e.g. bias, opacity, autonomy, security).
  3. Ensure responsible AI practices
    • Aligns development and use of AI with ethical principles (e.g. fairness, transparency, accountability).
  4. Comply with regulations and stakeholder expectations
    • Helps meet legal requirements such as the EU AI Act, GDPR, or industry-specific regulations.
  5. Embed continuous improvement
    • Encourages periodic review and updates of AI practices and systems.
  6. Align with existing management systems
    • Compatible with other ISO standards like:
      • ISO/IEC 27001 (Information Security)
      • ISO 9001 (Quality Management)
      • ISO/IEC 38507 (Governance of IT & AI)
