The internationally recognised standard for managing AI responsibly — a certifiable management system that tells organisations how to govern AI across its lifecycle.
Published in December 2023, ISO/IEC 42001:2023 follows the ISO High Level Structure (HLS/Annex SL) common to ISO 9001, ISO 27001, and ISO 14001, enabling integrated implementation. It covers context setting (understanding internal and external AI context), leadership commitment, planning (AI objectives and risk management), support (resources, competency, AI literacy), operations (AI system lifecycle controls), performance evaluation, and improvement. Informative annexes address AI system impact assessments, risk management approaches, and data governance. Certification is available from accredited bodies and is increasingly requested in AI procurement.
Organisations seeking to demonstrate AI governance maturity to customers, regulators, and investors are pursuing ISO/IEC 42001 certification as a credible, audited signal of responsible AI management.
