It is an international standard that specifies the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continuously improving an Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS) within organizations. This standard is designed to help organizations manage the various risks and challenges associated with the use of artificial intelligence technologies, ensuring they are used responsibly and ethically.

The standard provides a framework that includes guidelines for the governance and management of artificial intelligence systems, addressing key areas such as:

– Ethics: Ensuring that artificial intelligence systems are developed and used ethically.

– Responsibility: Defining clear roles and responsibilities for the management of artificial intelligence.

– Transparency: Ensuring that the processes and decisions involving artificial intelligence are transparent.

– Data Privacy: Protecting personal data and ensuring compliance with privacy regulations.

ISO/IEC 42001:2023 aims to integrate with other management system standards, such as those related to quality, security, and protection, providing a comprehensive approach to managing artificial intelligence within the context of an organization. It is applicable to any organization that uses AI-based products or services, ensuring they are developed and distributed responsibly and controlled.
