ISO/IEC 42001 AI Governance
Coverage from PYMNTS, Mexico Business, and others
ISO/IEC 42001 is an international management-system standard for organizational AI governance.
It asks organizations that develop, provide, or use AI to establish responsibilities and processes for assessing risk, documenting decisions, monitoring systems, auditing controls, and improving their practices across the AI lifecycle. Certification evaluates whether that governance system conforms to the standard, but does not by itself prove that a particular AI system performs safely or fairly in every real-world setting. Organizations may use ISO/IEC 42001 alongside frameworks such as the NIST AI Risk Management Framework or legal requirements such as the EU AI Act, which it does not replace.
