The risk of unethical behavior and careless AI usage has increased with the release of generative models like ChatGPT and Gemini (formerly known as Bard). The New York Times recently took legal action against Microsoft and OpenAI for copyright infringement, claiming they had utilized millions of newspaper articles to train their AI systems. The litigation intensified the ongoing legal battle over the unapproved use of published content for AI training, making it more significant to have clear standards and norms for the application and development of AI. This is where ISO/IEC 42001 plays a vital role. Organizations could demonstrate their support for responsible AI and abide by all rules with this certification.
Artificial intelligence is a powerful innovation that presents many challenges for organizations. However, ISO/IEC 42001:2023 is the first standard to help them overcome these challenges. This standard directs them to create a robust artificial intelligence management system (AIMS) and maintain and upgrade it regularly.
Released in December 2023, the ISO 42001 standard applies to all organizations that provide or use AI or AI-based services or products, regardless of size or revenue. This management standard is generic and applies to various domains and industries. It draws on nuances from ISO 27001 (Information Security), ISO 27701 (Privacy), and ISO 9001 (Quality Management) to serve as a guide for all companies, including businesses, non-profits, and public sector entities.
The standard follows a “plan-do-check” methodology, and since it provides a standardized method for using or developing AI, it is an invaluable tool for businesses of all sizes. This allows for the development of ethical AI, which talks about accountability, trust, and following all the legal and regulatory obligations.
Like the ISO/IEC 27001 standard for managing information security, this standard begins with an introduction to the AIMS, followed by terms and definitions essential to the standard and a description of the standard’s scope of application. The clauses covered as part of the standard are:
Core Controls of the ISO 42001 Standard
The ISO 42001 standard revolves around the core controls mentioned below:
Here is a practical case of how implementing AIMS can drive ethical and efficient development in your organization.
Imagine an organization that builds chatbots. Developers would find it very tricky to choose the data to feed to the model, considering the vast amount of data available and the regulatory restrictions. AIMS can help them specify and record the data sources used for training, ensuring the data is high-quality. AIMS would also enforce data security, preventing breaches and other privacy concerns.
Moreover, AIMS empowers developers to create transparent models. This transparency ensures the chatbot behaves bias-free and ethically, respecting all religions, genders, regions, and castes. By upholding these ethical standards, developers can guarantee that the chatbot treats all customers fairly and equally.
