INCITS ISO/IEC 42005 Video Series: Mastering AI Impact Assessments

As a member of INCITS, an ANSI member organization that oversees the voting of U.S. representatives on various ISO committees, like Steering Committee 42 - AI, this video series includes some of the experts that served as authors for ISO 42005 - AI System Impact Assessments, which for many has been a bit of an enigma. Through the video series, you will learn what is required, and also why SC 42 believed that this unique publication was necessary. No other ISO management system has this requirement, but then AI is like nothing we’ve seen before. Enjoy the series !!!

Series 7: AI Standards: Global Standards Shaping Responsible AI Development Day 1: ISO/IEC 42001:2023- what you need to know ISO finally launched a management system standard for AI - ISO/IEC 42001. Think ISO 27001, but for AI governance. Policies, roles, risk registers, oversight.... you know the works.... Sounds good on paper, but here’s the reality: 1. Most orgs can barely keep 27001 alive. Now they want to run another? 2. 42001 will get abused like 27001 - reduced to a certificate hunt for sales decks. 3. The controls are broad, they won’t save you if you can’t enforce them in code, pipelines, and real-world use cases. What you need to know: 1. Use 42001 to force accountability (who owns AI risk, who signs off deployment). 2. Map its requirements to your existing control library so you’re not building another silo. 3. Don’t sell it as “compliance.” Sell it as proof you won’t get wrecked by AI misuse. Bearded Wisdom ISO 42001 won’t protect you, but it will expose if you’ve been faking governance all along.... #TheBeardedCISO #ZeroDuo #AIStandards #ISO42001 #AIGovernance #CyberResilience ZeroDuo Vaibhav Tikekar #CISOs #CXOs

Speed is easy. Structure is hard. But only one of them survives scale. Every team wants to “move fast.” Until chaos catches up, duplicated work, missing audit trails, no accountability. That’s why standards exist, not to slow innovation, but to protect it. Manufacturing learned it through ISO 9001. Security followed with ISO/IEC 27001. Now AI is catching up with ISO/IEC 42001:2023, the world’s first AI Management System Standard. It’s how businesses can align with today’s major AI-safety frameworks: 🧩 NIST AI RMF (US): risk-based governance. ⚖️ EU AI Act (2024): compliance & documentation. 🌍 OECD / UNESCO: fairness & transparency. ISO 42001 turns them into one operating system for responsible AI. Because flexibility without structure isn’t innovation, it’s risk at scale. If your teams are: ⚠️ experimenting with unapproved AI tools, ⚠️ unsure how data is stored or shared, or ⚠️ facing growing pressure to “prove control” it’s time to start implementing ISO/IEC 42001. This World Standards Day, build speed and systems, before chaos builds itself. 🔁 If this resonates, repost or tag someone leading AI adoption. #WorldStandardsDay #ISO42001 #AIgovernance #ResponsibleAI #QualityManagement

I inferred something interesting while implementing standards: Our elders used to say: "جو بزرگوں کے نقشِ قدم پر نہیں چلتا، زندگی اُسے سخت سبق سکھاتی ہے۔" (He who doesn’t follow in the footsteps of the wise, life teaches him the hard way.) That’s exactly what standards are...footsteps of wise, best practices, documented. They were developed so we don’t have to repeat the same mistakes like: -ISO 9001 taught industries how to control chaos, -ISO 14001 showed how to protect the environment, -ISO 45001 built systems to safeguard health and safety, -ISO 27001 showed how to protect information, -Now ISO 42001 is teaching us how to manage AI before it manages us. You can skip the standards and move fast, But you’ll spend years fixing problems someone already solved! I do agree and believe that every standard is a lesson someone paid for, so you don’t have to! Its just a matter of how you implement it! #WorldStandardsDay #QualitySystems #BusinessProcesses

The new ISO/IEC 42001 standard sets the foundation for responsible AI management. One of its key pillars is risk assessment, which should cover: ✅ Technical risks: system failures, vulnerabilities, data quality. ✅ Ethical risks: bias, lack of transparency, social impact. ✅ Legal risks: regulatory compliance, intellectual property, liability. ✅ Organizational risks: governance gaps, human error, overreliance on AI. ✅ Lifecycle risks: from design to decommissioning. The goal is to identify, assess, and mitigate these risks to ensure AI systems are safe, trustworthy, and aligned with organizational values.

💡 Does responsible AI slow innovation? Not with ISO/IEC 42001. I recently attended a PECB webinar on ISO/IEC 42001—the first AI management system standard—and walked away with a deeper appreciation for how structured governance can accelerate innovation rather than hinder it. This standard isn’t about red tape. It’s about building AI systems that are ethical, transparent, and resilient—especially critical as global regulations like the EU AI Act come into force. Key takeaways from the session: ✔️ ISO/IEC 42001 provides a scalable framework for AI governance, allowing organizations to tailor risk management and ethical oversight to their context. ✔️ It embeds essential principles like fairness, explainability, and human oversight—fostering trust with regulators and stakeholders. ✔️ Far from being a barrier, certification can actually enhance market access, operational resilience, and long-term competitiveness. The message was clear: innovation without responsibility is fragile. ISO/IEC 42001 offers a foundation for sustainable, trusted growth in AI-driven organizations. 📌 Curious to hear from others—how is your organization approaching responsible AI governance? #ISO42001 #ResponsibleAI #AIgovernance #AIethics #RiskManagement #PECB #AIregulation #Innovation #TrustInAI

As AI adoption grows, so do the risks. From unclear accountability to untracked model usage, AI systems can quickly drift from helpful to harmful without proper governance in place. Assess and strengthen your AI governance practices; aligning with frameworks like ISO 42001, the NIST AI Risk Framework, and your internal risk posture. Whether you're just starting or scaling AI across teams, a quick health check, we can help you stay ahead of emerging risks.

The AI compliance landscape just shifted dramatically. 71% of organizations are now using generative AI operationally. Yet 58% still rely on periodic assessments instead of continuous monitoring for governance. This disconnect is about to become very expensive. ISO 42001 - the world's first international standard for AI Management Systems - isn't just another certification. It's becoming the baseline for doing business with AI. ➡️ The numbers tell the story: 1. EU AI Act penalties: up to €35M or 7% of global turnover 2. Average data breach cost: $4.44M globally, $10.2M in the US 3. Healthcare AI incidents affected 109.4M patients in 2023 alone But here's what most miss: ISO 42001's real requirement isn't documentation - it's operational effectiveness through continuous monitoring. Traditional quarterly reviews can't catch model drift, emerging bias, or adversarial attacks in real-time. By the time you discover the problem, the damage is done. Organizations achieving early certification report 60% higher revenue growth. They're not just avoiding penalties - they're winning contracts that require proven AI governance. The question isn't whether your AI systems need governance. It's whether you'll implement it proactively or reactively.
