ISO 42001 - AI Systems
ISO Pros is a top company in the United States that has dedicated its 20+ years since founded to bring all benefits that ISOs offer to businesses and companies. Unlike other auditors or service providers, we are invested in letting you know that, unlike popular belief, an ISO can be a great addition and not a limitation. One of the newest additions, ISO 42001, proves as the perfect example for it.
While standards are, put simply, regulations and compliance companies and businesses should worry about, the truth is that you can benefit from the structure and requirements they establish.
For instance, ISO 42001 has been set up as a way to control and set a well-structured framework for your AI management system, meaning you can handle a more reliable and well-built system that won’t break in three specific situations.
The first one is based on the need of risk management and how you should be handling all data and information acquired from artificial intelligence. This will prevent any harm to your internal operations but also to society as the greater scope of things.
The second one is mostly based on improvement. Again, while ISOs are seen as limitations and basic regulations, they actually offer a whole service in terms of how you can grow. Uncontrolled and unestablished parameters for AI can lead to slow improvement, meaning that your system gets outdated fairly quickly.
Finally, the third option lies in ethical and legal usage of your systems. With AI intellectual rights and legal aspects being… complicated, people—particularly employees or team members–require protection. Hence, usage must be followed and not so much as limited, but rather fair and transparent throughout all operations.
What You Shouldn’t Omit About ISO 42001
Audits and regular implementation or compliance are part of the steps that people consider when having to discuss ISO 42001 and its certification.
However, beyond regular implementation aimed at your AI management systems and operations, you want to worry about the people running or managing them. in other words, your team members.
Training employees on AI compliance and ISO 42001 will maintain compliance and legal regulations in order since the moment of your certification and future additions to the ISO. After all, employee training focuses on educating your staff on how ethics, security protocols, and governance policies must be followed and implemented.
Moreover, it keeps their own intellectual properties, and work protected.
Does this mean every new employee needs to be trained by our professionals once an ISO or any standard is in place? Yes, and no.
Rounds of training and education can be scheduled, especially during new hiring processes, so that everyone on the team gets their part. New individuals or barely one or two new hires can be assessed and assisted by superiors on the basics.
Just keep in mind that ISO 42001 entails more than the basic compliance and governance policies. Hence, everyone plays a role, especially when considering AI’s evolution and how this ISO 42001 has just been recently introduced.
Fortunately, we are here to support you and provide all assistance from audits and training to certifications and any follow-ups.
