ISO 42001 - Artificial Intelligence Management Systems
New standards are commonly introduced in the United States in order to guarantee not only client satisfaction but also safety and proper work environments. Hence, many are created while focusing on the traditional aspects of every company, individual, or corporation, while others are mostly based on evolution and new advances. ISO 42001 is one of the newest introductions in 2025 due to the increasing usage of AI and how it has influenced risk management and decision-making. At ISO Pros, we will be more than happy to assist you to achieve compliance and bring growth and improvements to your space.
While ISO 42001 does not look like a standard that must be followed by most companies, truth be told is that artificial intelligence is everywhere. Therefore, while bespoken assessment and management are needed depending on the area and subject, AI management systems require their own regulations.
What Is ISO 42001, and Why Do You Need It?
Think about your software and any tools you use for operations. While following government laws and regulations, you find that regardless of the option, you need to guarantee ethical, secure, and responsible governance and usage. As a result, AI management systems must be followed with a certification that demonstrates compliance with regulatory requirements.
For businesses and individuals, this will be a way of mitigating AI-related risks, comply with regulations accordingly, and building trust with stakeholders and who your clients are.
That being said, ISO 42001 is not simply a standard to comply with regulations. Instead, it will be an impactful addition to guarantee five key controls while using AI systems:
- AI impact assessment: the company will identify and define a process that will assess any potential risks and consequences for users of the system. This will prevent further complications and protect data and users’ impact.
- Performance optimization: as AI continues in development, companies will be able to follow a more structured path for improvement in effectiveness as they must strive for continuous enhancement of AI management systems.
- Risk management: focused on identifying, analyzing, evaluating, and monitoring risks actively, which will prevent consequences to the system’s lifecycle and its users.
- System lifecycle management: development, planning, testing, and trying to remediate findings will prevent further damage to the system and the data of its users.
- Supplier management: it will provide a great structure and control over internal processes as well as external ones.
