ISO/IEC 42001 (2023) is the first international standard specifying requirements for an AI Management System — a governance structure for how an organization develops, deploys, and monitors AI systems responsibly.
It follows the same management-system structure as ISO 27001 (policies, risk assessment, continual improvement) but applies it to AI-specific concerns: bias, transparency, robustness, and the broader lifecycle risk of automated decision-making. Organizations building or deploying AI products are increasingly using it to demonstrate responsible-AI governance to regulators and enterprise customers alike.
