ISO 42001 (Artificial Intelligence Management Systems)
At ISO Pros, we are always worried about how each company approaches ISO implementation, depending on the type of standard they are working with. This is because most people consider implementation by following the guidelines, but very few actually think about how each part of the documentation needs to be customized. A good example is how businesses have been working with ISO 42001 and how they are missing the chances to work on their AI management systems in a beneficial manner.
Our role here is not only to point out the obvious regarding designs, implementation, control, and certification. Instead, we handle every part of the implementation if needed and requested. This includes working on the roadmap to arrange your management system, including extra considerations regarding your implementation, discussing training, and offering support post-certification.
Of course, before we are able to support you through it and work on your own system, we have to understand what it entails and how you are trying to use it for your operations. For instance, is this a matter of starting to implement your own AI management system? Do you have one already and if so, is it focused on particular tasks?
Any information related to the subject at hand will allow us to come up with a plan that addresses your requirements. Remember, ISO 42001 is not only about fulfilling regulations but also bringing benefits to your space. Hence, leave the process to our experts to help you throughout the process.
How to Work on Your ISO 42001 Compliance
Before starting anything, make sure you understand where you are at with your system and company as a whole, especially if you are a company that is only starting to implement AI systems and working on accommodating operations around it.
If you are a business that already worked through it and you are in the middle of the operation, we highly recommend not getting too deep into trying to accommodate it all. There are many ways in which you can adapt the ISO to your system, not the other way around.
Once you have it clear and understand how your system should operate regarding ISO 42001, it is important to develop your AI governance policies and implement those on the management system. This includes working with the AI part as a tool, but also with risk management and how to prevent consequences or any harm.
All the implementation should boil down to full compliance with the documentation. However, something that most auditors forget is that long-term compliance relies a lot on the way your employees work with the standard. Therefore, they need and must know how to work with ISO 42001 and get all operations done surrounding it while utilizing AI.
Feel free to discuss the process and how it would be handled in your company. ISO Pros is always open and we welcome any individual trying to make the most out of the new regulations, including improvement and growth in their AI systems.
