ISO/IEC 42001 applies to any organization that develops, deploys, or uses AI, regardless of size or industry. This includes organizations that:

Build AI or machine learning products
Use AI internally for decision-making or automation
Integrate third-party AI tools into their platforms
Rely on AI outputs to influence customers, employees, or users

You do not need to be a pure AI company. If AI is even a small part of your operations, such as resume screening, chatbots, recommendation engines, or analytics, you may still fall within scope. ISO 42001 is especially relevant for:

Startups scaling AI products
Enterprises operationalizing AI at scale
Regulated industries preparing for AI laws
Organizations seeking customer trust and credibility
