AI is moving fast, and with it comes increasing pressure to show it’s being used responsibly. Most organisations aren’t looking to pursue ISO 42001 certification, but they do need a clear, credible way to govern how AI is used day-to-day.

 

So, what is ISO 42001? ISO 42001 is an international standard, think of it like ISO 27001, but specifically for AI. It provides a structured framework for how organisations should manage AI responsibly: covering everything from risk assessment and policy to accountability and oversight. In short, it’s a globally recognised blueprint for doing AI governance properly.
This session is designed with that reality in mind.

 

Rather than focusing on certification, we’ll break down what ISO 42001 contains and help you understand the core elements you can adopt to strengthen your own approach to AI governance.

In plain English, we’ll walk through:

  • How to get visibility of the AI tools being used across your organisation
  • Practical ways to assess and manage AI-related risks
  • The key policies and controls that actually matter
  • How to demonstrate accountability, without creating unnecessary admin

 

The goal is simple: give you a structured framework you can take away and apply immediately, whether you formalise it or not.
