This new offering provides a structured approach, balancing innovation and governance and is tailored to help organisations manage risks and opportunities associated with AI systems, providing a reliable framework for ethical and responsible use.

What is ISO 42001?

ISO/IEC 42001, the world's first international standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS), offers comprehensive guidelines for establishing, implementing, and continually improving AI governance within organisations. By adopting the Plan‐Do‐Check‐Act methodology, ISO 42001 focuses on providing a practical framework for managing AI-related risks and opportunities across an organisation, ensuring responsible use and development.

Who is ISO 42001 for?

Designed for organisations of any size involved in providing or utilising AI-based products or services, ISO 42001 ensures responsible development and use of AI systems across all industries, including public sector agencies, private companies and non-profits. It offers a practical approach to managing AI-related risks and opportunities, making it valuable for any business or entity utilising, developing or providing AI technology-powered services.

ISO 42001 Benefits

The implementation of ISO 42001 offers a range of benefits, including fostering responsible AI governance, enhancing trust and reputation, ensuring regulatory compliance, encouraging innovation and enabling strategic decision-making. This structured approach ensures ethical and responsible use of artificial intelligence and promotes greater confidence in AI systems among stakeholders.
