Overview

What is ISO 42001?

ISO 42001 is the world’s first certifiable standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS). Published as ISO 42001:2023, it gives organizations a governance framework for developing and using AI responsibly — addressing risk, transparency, accountability, bias and the full AI system lifecycle.

As AI regulation tightens (notably the EU AI Act), ISO 42001 is fast becoming the benchmark for demonstrating trustworthy, well-governed AI.
