How we use this

ISO/IEC 42001 provides certifiable governance scaffolding for organisations deploying AI: leadership, planning, support, operation, performance evaluation, and improvement of an AI management system. It is the first certifiable AI-management standard and is expected to interact with EU AI Act conformity routes.
