ISO/IEC 42001, AI management system

Published on 18 December 2023, ISO/IEC 42001 specifies the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an AI management system. It is the certifiable management wrapper around everything else in this ledger: it does not tell you how to authorise an agent, it tells you to decide, document and review how you do.

The verdict

Verified

The document exists. The ledger fetched it at its publisher and quotes it.

Added
  • The standard states that it specifies the requirements and provides guidance for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an AI management system.
  • Its full title is Information technology, Artificial intelligence, Management system, and the edition checked is the first.
  • It is a management system standard, so organisations are certified against their own documented system rather than against any agent control.
  • It names no agent specific control, which is why it pairs with rather than replaces the technical rows in this ledger.

Dimension by dimension

2 dimensions, each one stated, silent or open

Accountability, Authorization. Stated means the document you can open below says it; silent means the ledger read the document and it does not.

AccountabilityStated
The standard puts named roles, objectives and review cycles around AI use, which is how an organisation stays answerable as systems change.IEC Webstore, ISO/IEC 42001:2023, primary source, 18 December 2023.
AuthorizationSilent
No clause addresses how an agent obtains or presents authority; that is left to the controls the organisation chooses.IEC Webstore, ISO/IEC 42001:2023, primary source, 18 December 2023.

What it changes

For a team deploying an agent

If a buyer asks whether your agent programme is governed, this certificate is the shortest credible answer. It proves you run a system, not that the agent is safe, so do not let it stand in for the technical evidence: the authorization, logging and stop path still have to exist underneath it.
