ISO 42001 (Artificial Intelligence Systems)
Is ISO 42001 a standard people should invest in? Beyond the aspect of it being mandatory if your company utilizes artificial intelligence, especially if it has a heavy role within your operations, it is worth its implementation for the sake of improvement and security. ISO Pros knows best as we have been working with standards for more than being a simple regulation.
ISO 42001 is particularly new and was added due to the rising use of AI not only on a regular basis for repetitive tasks but also to the point of creating AI systems within companies and their operations. As a result, control is needed for two main reasons.
- Guaranteed the companies’ integrity and their ethical use of systems and their management.
- Preventing risks and consequences for insiders and outsiders (society as a whole).
The way this is done is by establishing a well-structured framework within the AI management system. You will focus on building a pyramid with ethics, responsibility, and AI risks and improvement in mind. For this, ISO 42001 will play the role of guidelines instead of a mandatory regulation to follow.
How to Implement ISO 42001 in Your Company
The process starts with your AI system and whether you have. A few companies use AI as an extra tool, or maybe employees and team members have personal approaches regarding task organization and management.
While this doesn’t entirely require a standard and management in terms of a system and its environment, following ethical and responsible AI usage will be needed from all users or participants in operations.
As for an entire AI management system, the focus is on building the structure and foundations of security, proper management, continuous improvement, and ethical and legal implementation.
For this, our ISO Pros team will work on analyzing your system, identifying common issues with data research and generation, define the problems in detail, and find solutions through ISO 42001 implementation.
Once this is done, our professionals focus on building the structured framework required and follow all key aspects and control points of the ISO.
First, all ethical and responsible management, which will be focused on human rights and transparency. Since AI and irresponsible use of it can lead to consequences not only inside your business but also in terms of the whole society, the standard will be followed to minimize bias and make decisions based on what benefits people, them, and after reviewing all information acquired.
Second, it will follow a risk approach. Instead of waiting for error to appear, our implementation will focus on keeping algorithm clear, working on data privacy, and ensuring that your AI system is secured against all vulnerabilities.
Finally, all aspects surrounding alignment with legal and regulatory frameworks as well as industry-specific adaptations and AI improvement, are considered and adapted.
Hence, feel free to reach out to our team today and work through implementation, auditing, and certification to fulfill legal regulations, but bring improvement and better results to your business or company in the process.
