About ISO/IEC 42001:2023
ISO/IEC 42001:2023 specifies requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an artificial intelligence management system (AIMS) within organizations. It is intended for organizations that provide or use AI-based products or services and addresses responsible development and use, including risk management, impact assessment and governance.
Innovative Quality Consultancy helps technology companies and AI-adopting organizations put practical governance around their AI systems so that objectives, risks, roles and controls are defined, documented and auditable.
Core elements of the AI management system
- AI policy, organizational context, interested parties and scope of the AIMS, including the organization's role as AI provider, producer or user.
- AI risk assessment and risk treatment, plus AI system impact assessment considering individuals, groups and society.
- Statement of Applicability referencing the Annex A controls, with implementation guidance from Annex B.
- Controls for AI system life cycle: objectives, requirements, design, data management, verification and validation, deployment, operation, monitoring and decommissioning.
- Resources for AI systems, data quality and provenance, transparency, explainability and human oversight.
- Roles and responsibilities, competence and awareness, supplier and third-party relationships.
- Performance evaluation, internal audit, management review and continual improvement.
Suitable organizations
- Software and AI product companies developing machine-learning models or AI-enabled services.
