Strengthen Trust and Build Confidence in Responsible AI
Strengthen Trust and Build Confidence in Responsible AI
AI is having a growing impact on our society. Of course, the rise of AI brings new challenges, such as ethical considerations, transparency and continuous learning. ISO 42001 is an indispensable tool to address these challenges. It offers a structured approach, balancing innovation and governance. Designed to help organisations manage risks and opportunities associated with AI systems, it provides a reliable framework for ethical and responsible use.
What is ISO/IEC 42001?
In response to the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and its challenges, ISO and IEC created the ISO/IEC 42001 standard. It is the first international management system standard for AI, focusing on establishing, implementing, maintaining and continuously improving an AI management system (AIMS). Besides a guideline, it is also the only certifiable standard that sets requirements for responsible AI development and use.
The standard seeks to ensure reliable AI systems, achievement of organisational goals, ethical use of AI systems, effective risk management, regulatory compliance and building trust and leadership in ethical AI systems.
Guidelines in the Annexes
The standard contains four annexes that offer in-depth insights:
