John states "ISO 27001 gave us a blueprint for control: how to protect data, ensure confidentiality, and maintain integrity."
If ISO 27001 secures the system, ISO 42001 governs the intelligence that system produces.
ISO 42001 is defined as: "The first international management system standard for artificial intelligence (AI), providing a framework for organizations to develop, deploy, and manage AI systems responsibly and securely. It helps organizations establish a governance system for AI, ensuring ethical use, managing risks, and promoting transparency and accountability throughout the AI lifecycle. The standard is applicable to any organization involved with AI systems, whether they are providers or users."
Key aspects of ISO 42001 AI Governance:
It provides a structured approach to AI governance, helping organizations to comply with legal and regulatory requirements.
Risk Management: It helps organizations identify and assess risks associated with AI systems, such as bias and security vulnerabilities, and implement strategies to mitigate them.
Ethical and Responsible Use: The standard promotes the responsible and ethical use of AI by ensuring systems are explainable, auditable, and free from unfair bias.
Lifecycle Management: It provides guidance for managing AI systems across their entire lifecycle, from design and development to deployment and operation.
Continuous Improvement: It includes processes for monitoring, auditing, and continuously improving AI systems to maintain compliance and reliability.
Compatibility: ISO 42001 is built on the same high-level structure as other management system standards, such as ISO 27001 (information security) and ISO 9001 (quality management), allowing for seamless implementation alongside them.
