ISO 42001 - AI Management Systems
ISO compliance is part of the basics when working with companies or owning one. Therefore, you need to stay updated with new standards that may be required in your business or any updates that come for existing ones. At ISO Pros, we are always happy to assist you through the process and guarantee smooth implementation, updates, and even post-certification audits. This applies to all standards in the industry, including the new ISO 42001.
ISO 42001 was recently introduced as the first standard for AI management systems. This is due to the lack of transparency, accountability, and explainability from companies utilizing AI as their main tool, and it makes sense.
AI can be an amazing option to handle repetitive tasks, work on new projects, and even make decisions with the data it collects and organizes. However, when mistakes or errors come along the way, no one is there to be held accountable. Moreover, the data and where it comes from can be questionable itself. This is why more control over AI management systems and how companies are handling them is needed.
We have been operating in this industry for over two decades and we can mention, in advance, that implementing ISO 42001 may prove to be a challenge for certain businesses. Reason being is how the entire process needs to be handled and if you already have an AI management system in place, it can be difficult to adapt it to all the regulations aligned in the ISO 42001 documentation.
Hence, take the time to understand the documentation, work on how it benefits or affects your company, develop your own AI governance policies, and then start working on full implementation and certification.
What Makes ISO 42001 Difficult to Work with?
Its nature. Most ISO standards are focused on products, maintaining quality, or in a simple aspect of your company. However, ISO 42001 influences a system that is always changing for the simple fact that the technology you use in it is always changing.
In other words, artificial intelligence is hard to control. You need to move over recurring updates and keep an eye on what it can do next. If it is something that has not be outlined yet, you can expect a new regulation or additional rule on the ISO later on. It is a matter of keeping up with it, not so much the initial phase and compliance.
Our professionals make sure you can work towards three goals:
- Understanding ISO 42001 and implementing it well.
- Handling certification and compliance thanks to how all the regulations are fulfilled.
- Maintain certification and compliance once the entire process is over–is it?
This way, you won’t have to worry about recurring changes or go over the entire process every time there is something new to consider. Furthermore, we can offer every service regarding post-certification, including employee training, to make sure your team members follow regulations and help you maintain compliance.
