Guide to establishing an AI governance framework without relying on formal certification. System inventory, impact assessment, and ongoing oversight.
Governing AI does not necessarily require ISO 42001 certification. However, it does demand a structured framework that identifies, assesses, and controls algorithmic risks. This guide provides the fundamental steps to build that framework from scratch.
It is not mandatory. ISO 42001 is a valuable reference framework, but an organization can implement effective AI governance with a structured internal framework and regular impact assessments.
At minimum: technology, legal, compliance, human resources, and the business areas using AI. AI governance is cross-functional; limiting it to IT is a frequent mistake.
