Preparing for the Future of AI: An Introduction to ISO 42001
Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer something businesses are simply talking about. It’s already being used in customer service, marketing, operations, data analysis and decision-making across organisations of all sizes.
As AI becomes more widely adopted, businesses face an important challenge: how to ensure AI is used responsibly, safely and effectively.
To help address that challenge, ISO QSL is hosting a free webinar introducing ISO 42001, the world’s first international standard for AI management systems.

This introductory session will explore the growing importance of AI governance and explain how ISO 42001 can help organisations establish effective controls around the use of AI.

Why AI governance matters
AI offers enormous opportunities to improve efficiency, automate routine tasks and support better decision-making.
However, as organisations become increasingly reliant on AI technologies, they must also consider issues such as:
- Accountability
- Transparency
- Data management
- Risk assessment
- Regulatory compliance
- Ethical use of AI
Without appropriate oversight, AI can introduce risks alongside its benefits, which is why ISO 42001 was developed.
What is ISO 42001
ISO 42001 is the first international standard specifically created for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS).
The standard provides organisations with a structured framework for governing AI, helping them identify risks, establish responsibilities and demonstrate responsible AI management.
Whether you’re developing AI solutions, implementing AI tools or simply exploring future opportunities, ISO 42001 offers a practical approach to managing AI throughout its lifecycle.
What we'll cover
During this webinar, we’ll discuss:
- What ISO 42001 is and why it was developed
- Why AI governance is becoming increasingly important
- The benefits of implementing an AI management system
- How ISO 42001 can help organisations manage AI-related risks and opportunities
- What businesses should be considering as AI adoption continues to grow
Who should attend
This webinar is ideal for anyone developing, implementing or using AI within their organisation, including:
- Business owners and Managing Directors
- Quality professionals
- Compliance and risk managers
