ISO/IEC 42001 — AI Management System

The first international management system standard for Artificial Intelligence, giving organizations a structured way to govern how AI is developed and used.

What It Is

Governance for responsible AI

ISO/IEC 42001 sets out requirements for an AI Management System (AIMS) — covering risk management, transparency, and accountability across the AI lifecycle, from development through deployment and monitoring.

As regulatory attention on AI grows worldwide, it's becoming a key differentiator for organizations that build or deploy AI systems responsibly.
