IMSM, a leading ISO specialist from Swindon, is the first to consult and certify ISO 42001 – the new, internationally heralded standard for Artificial Intelligence (AI). The standard helps companies oversee their AI systems’ implementation, use, and upkeep by providing high-level principles adhering to best practices.
Research from McKinsey reveals that 65% of respondents now regularly use generative AI within their organisation—nearly double the findings from previous years—driving home the importance of managing and overseeing AI.
Tom Tuke-Hastings, Chief Revenue Officer at IMSM said, “I’m excited to announce our first-to-market consultancy and certification product, which will bring AI ISO certification to visionary AI-powered companies across the globe.
“AI is transforming the business landscape with half of all companies are already using AI in two or more ways – less than two years after the launch of ChatGPT.
“With the ever-increasing demand for new, rapidly developing AI capabilities and applications, there is a crucial need for people to understand and mitigate the often-unknown risks. The new AI management system, ISO 42001, is a global standard that helps companies get the highest possible return from their AI work in the safest, most efficient way.”
ISO/IEC 42001 offers numerous benefits to organisations implementing and managing AI systems, including:
- Better governance
- Risk mitigation
- Improved transparency
- Increased accountability
- Regulatory compliance
- Ethical AI practices
- Operational efficiency
- Stronger trust and credibility
- Continuous improvement
The new global standard mandates the ethical use of AI technologies through a robust Quality Management System (QMS).
For over thirty years, IMSM has been delivering ISO consultancy services to organisations of all sizes and sectors worldwide. To find out more about ISO/IEC 42001 visit: www.imsm.com/gb/iso-42001/
