Understanding ISO 42001: A Game-Changer for Your Organisation's AI Management
In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, artificial intelligence (AI) has become an integral part of business operations. However, managing AI systems effectively while ensuring responsibility and compliance can be challenging. This is where ISO 42001 comes in – the first international standard for AI management systems.
What is ISO 42001?
