Intertek Business Assurance will now offer auditing and certification services to the ISO/IEC 42001:2023 Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS) standard, enhancing ethical and responsible AI practices within organisations.
Pioneering as the world's first AI standard, ISO/IEC 42001 outlines requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an AIMS within an organisation. This framework is tailored for entities involved in delivering or utilising AI-based products or services, ensuring the responsible development and application of AI systems.
The new standard builds on Intertek’s global Total Sustainability Assurance (TSA) programme, providing its clients with an enhanced solution that will allow them to use AI in ways which are safer and more secure. It will enable them to better unlock the significant growth opportunities presented by a fast-developing technology while fulfilling their corporate social responsibilities across all aspects of their sustainability strategies, activities and operations.
