| 30 | ## Standard Overview |
| 31 | |
| 32 | **ISO/IEC 42001:2023** was published on **18 December 2023** — the world's first international standard for AI Management Systems. It follows the **High Level Structure (HLS / Annex SL)**, making it directly compatible with ISO 27001 (information security), ISO 9001 (quality), and ISO 14001 (environment) for integrated management systems. |
| 33 | |
| 34 | ### Who It Applies To |
| 35 | - **AI providers**: organisations that develop, train, deploy, or maintain AI systems for others or for internal use |
| 36 | - **AI users**: organisations that integrate or use AI systems developed by third parties |
| 37 | - **Any size**: scalable for startups through enterprises; sector-agnostic |
| 38 | |
| 39 | ### Key Unique Elements vs Other ISO Standards |
| 40 | | Element | ISO 42001 Specific | |
| 41 | |---------|-------------------| |
| 42 | | AI system impact assessment (AISIA) | Required — assess societal and individual impacts | |
| 43 | | AI risk assessment | Separate from general organisational risk — AI-specific likelihood × severity | |
| 44 | | AI objectives | Must be measurable and linked to responsible AI principles | |
| 45 | | Intended purpose | Must be documented for each AI system in scope | |
| 46 | | Human oversight | Controls required for all AI decision-making affecting individuals | |
| 47 | | Data quality | Specific controls for training, validation, test data quality | |
| 48 | | Transparency | Disclosure obligations tied to AI system impact level | |
