ISO/IEC 42001
ISO/IEC 42001:2023 is the world’s first certifiable AI management system standard, giving organizations an auditable framework to govern the development and use of artificial intelligence.
Published in 2023, ISO/IEC 42001 defines requirements for an AI management system (AIMS) — the AI equivalent of ISO 27001 for information security. It follows the familiar plan-do-check-act cycle: set AI policy and objectives, assess risks and impacts, apply controls, and continually improve.
Because it is certifiable, an accredited third party can audit an organization against it and issue a certificate — useful evidence for customers, partners, and regulators that AI is managed responsibly, not ad hoc.
See the official ISO/IEC 42001 standard page for scope and structure.
