ISO 42001 - the new standard for artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) is here to stay. Regardless of whether you are already using AI or whether your company will be using it in the coming years: AI is a topic that companies will no longer be able to avoid if they want to remain competitive.

ISO 42001 is the world’s first standard for AI management systems and provides valuable guidance for this rapidly changing field of technology. It specifies requirements for the establishment, implementation, maintenance and continual improvement of an AI management system in organisations, especially for companies that provide or use AI-based products or services. ISO 42001 ensures the responsible development and use of AI systems. The standard addresses the unique challenges posed by AI, such as ethical considerations, transparency and continuous learning, and sets out a structured approach to managing the risks and opportunities associated with AI.

Stay competitive: Organisations with existing technology management systems, such as ISO/IEC 27001 for information security or ISO/IEC 27701 for data protection, should consider the international standard for artificial intelligence – ISO/IEC 42001 – sooner rather than later.
