Last updated: 14 August 2026
What is ISO 42001?
ISO 42001 is the first international standard specifically designed for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS). Released in response to the growing adoption of AI technologies across industries, ISO 42001 provides a structured framework for organisations to:
- Establish robust AI governance structures
- Identify and manage AI-specific risks
- Ensure ethical and responsible AI development and deployment
- Build stakeholder trust in AI systems and outcomes
- Demonstrate regulatory compliance
With AI technologies becoming increasingly prevalent and powerful, ISO 42001 helps organizations implement the necessary controls and processes to manage AI responsibly throughout its lifecycle.
