The international standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS) — a certifiable framework for managing AI-specific risks and demonstrating governance maturity.
ISO 42001 is the international standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS). Published in 2023, it provides a certifiable framework for organisations to establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve an AI management system. ISO 42001 covers AI risk management, ethical considerations, transparency, and accountability.
For African enterprises deploying AI in regulated sectors, ISO 42001 certification demonstrates governance maturity to regulators, customers, and partners. YIPS Africa helps organisations prepare for ISO 42001 certification through gap assessments, policy development, and implementation support.
