The new international standard ISO/IEC 42001:2023 “Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS) — Requirements” has been published. In the field of artificial intelligence governance, internal audits enable organizations of any type and size to strengthen internal controls and assess conformity with this AI management system standard. This supports responsible development and use of AI, improves risk management, ensures ethical and transparent practices, and enhances preparedness for AI-related incidents and regulatory scrutiny.
Artificial Intelligence Management System audits are essential for organizations to identify risks associated with AI systems, evaluate governance and control mechanisms, safeguard stakeholders, and increase trust in AI-enabled products and services.
