ISO/IEC 42001 defines a structured set of requirements that organizations must meet to responsibly govern artificial intelligence systems. These requirements are designed to ensure that AI is used in a way that is safe, ethical, transparent, and aligned with organizational objectives. At a high level, ISO 42001 requires organizations to establish an Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS) that governs AI across its lifecycle. This includes defining policies, assigning accountability, assessing risks, implementing controls, monitoring outcomes, and continuously improving AI governance. The requirements are organized into clauses and annexes, similar to other ISO management system standards. Rather than prescribing specific technical solutions, ISO 42001 focuses on processes, governance, and oversight, making it adaptable to different industries and AI use cases.
