Frequently Asked Questions about AI Management System Certifications

Any organization—regardless of size—that develops, provides, or uses AI-based products or services. This applies across all industries and is relevant to public sector agencies, private companies, and non-profits alike.

Yes, it is intended to be applicable across a broad range of AI applications and contexts.

An AI management system, as defined by ISO/IEC 42001, comprises the interconnected elements within an organization used to establish policies, set objectives, and implement processes for the responsible development, deployment, and use of AI systems. The standard outlines requirements and offers guidance for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continuously improving such a system within an organizational context.

ISO/IEC 42001 provides organizations with comprehensive guidance for the responsible and effective use of AI, even amid rapid technological change. Addressing the diverse aspects of AI and its various applications, the standard offers an integrated framework for managing AI initiatives—from risk assessment to the implementation of appropriate risk mitigation measures.

  • Responsible AI: Promotes the ethical and accountable use of artificial intelligence.
  • Reputation Management: Builds trust and confidence in AI systems.
  • AI Governance: Facilitates compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.
  • Practical Guidance: Enables effective management of AI-specific risks.
  • Opportunity Identification: Fosters innovation within a structured, well-governed framework.

ISO offers a suite of standards to help organizations manage the risks and maximize the benefits of AI. These include ISO/IEC 22989, which defines terminology and concepts in AI; ISO/IEC 23053, which outlines a framework for describing AI systems based on machine learning; and ISO/IEC 23894, which provides guidance on managing AI-related risks.

In contrast, ISO/IEC 42001 is a management system standard (MSS) that focuses on organizational governance of AI. It leverages the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle to establish policies and procedures for responsible AI use. Rather than addressing specific AI applications, it offers a practical framework for managing AI risks and opportunities across the entire organization, delivering value to any business or entity.
