In short: ISO/IEC 42001 sets requirements for organizations to develop, provide or use artificial intelligence responsibly.
ISO and IEC have published ISO/IEC 42001:2023, Information technology — Artificial intelligence — Management system, the first international management system standard for artificial intelligence (AI).
What it covers
- Establishing policies and objectives for responsible AI
- AI risk assessment and AI system impact assessment
- Controls across the AI system life cycle, including data quality and transparency
- Roles, responsibilities and oversight
- Continual improvement of the AI management system
A new frontier for quality
Because ISO/IEC 42001 uses the harmonized management system structure, organizations can integrate it with ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 27001. Quality professionals are well placed to support trustworthy AI governance.
