The world's first international standard for AI Management Systems (AIMS). Establish a systematic approach to developing, deploying, and maintaining trustworthy AI systems.
ISO/IEC 42001:2023 is the first international standard that specifies requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS) within organizations.
Published in December 2023 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), this standard provides a structured framework for organizations that develop, provide, or use AI systems to manage AI-related risks responsibly.
The standard follows the harmonized structure common to other ISO management system standards (like ISO 27001 and ISO 9001), making it easier to integrate into existing management systems while addressing the unique challenges posed by AI technologies.
Position your organization ahead of emerging AI regulations including the EU AI Act, which references ISO standards for compliance demonstration.
Enterprise buyers increasingly require AI vendors to demonstrate governance maturity. ISO 42001 provides recognized proof of responsible AI practices.
Systematically identify, assess, and mitigate AI-specific risks including bias, security vulnerabilities, and unintended system behaviors.
Early adoption differentiates your organization as a leader in responsible AI, opening doors to security-conscious customers and partners.
