The International Standardisation Organisation (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) have published a voluntary standard, ISO/IEC 42001, that establishes a process for implementing AI Management Systems (AIMS) in organisations. ISO/IEC 42001 is the first process standard to outline a comprehensive governance framework for responsible and trustworthy deployment of AI systems. The standard is scalable and offers auditability, providing a foundation for external entities to certify and audit AI systems in line with the risk assessment framework. Policymakers behind the EU AI Act and legislative efforts on AI in the US may adopt the standard’s objectives and modalities to guide their regional standardisation efforts. Holistic AI, a regulatory compliance solutions provider, offers services to assist organisations in complying with applicable AI regulations and industry standards.

The International Organisation for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) have released a new AI standard, ISO/IEC 22989, to the public. The standard aims to provide a shared vocabulary and framework for essential AI concepts, promoting dialogue between stakeholders and paving the way for technical standards focused on responsible AI development and deployment. The standard defines more than 110 key concepts in the field of AI and clarifies the importance of multi-stakeholder consultations and the need for standardisation due to the lack of global alignment and consensus on crucial issues. Holistic AI can assist organisations in operationalising technical standards at scale to ensure AI systems are developed and deployed safely, effectively, and in line with compliance obligations.
