Artificial intelligence system
Engineered or machine-based system that infers, for explicit or implicit objectives, how to generate outputs such as predictions, content, recommendations, or decisions that can influence physical or virtual environments.
AI management system
Management system used to establish an AI policy and AI objectives and the processes needed to achieve those objectives within an organization.
AI policy
Documented statement of top management's overall intentions and direction for artificial intelligence, including commitments to applicable requirements and continual improvement.
Interested party
Person or organization that can affect, be affected by, or perceive itself to be affected by a decision, activity, or AI system.
AI risk
Effect of uncertainty on AI-related objectives, where the effect can be a negative deviation such as harm or a positive deviation such as opportunity.
AI risk assessment
Process that identifies AI risk sources, analyzes potential consequences and likelihood, and evaluates the resulting level of AI risk against defined criteria.
AI risk treatment
Process to select and implement options that modify AI risk, followed by determining whether residual AI risk is acceptable.
AI system impact assessment
Structured process used to assess how an AI system may affect individuals, groups, and society, including human rights and broader societal consequences.
Residual risk
The level of AI risk that remains after risk treatment options have been selected and implemented.
Documented information
Information that an organization is required to control and maintain, together with the medium on which it is contained.
Top management
Person or group of people who directs and controls an organization at the highest level.
Continual improvement
Recurring activity that enhances performance, used in an AI management system to improve suitability, adequacy, and effectiveness over time.
Effectiveness
Extent to which planned activities are realized and planned results are achieved within the AI management system.
Statement of applicability
Documented statement listing applicable AI controls, justifying inclusions and exclusions, and recording implementation status for the management system.
AIMS scope
Documented boundaries and applicability of the AI management system, including the AI systems, processes, locations, and organizational units covered.
Context of the organization
Combination of internal and external issues relevant to an organization's purpose and that affect its ability to achieve intended AI management system results.
Leadership commitment
Top management's active accountability for AI management system effectiveness, including integrating requirements into processes and providing necessary resources.
AI objectives
Measurable results to be achieved for artificial intelligence, consistent with the AI policy, monitored, communicated, and updated as needed.
Competence
Ability to apply knowledge and skills to achieve intended results, determined for persons whose work affects AI performance or the management system.
Awareness
Condition in which persons doing work under the organization's control know the AI policy, their contribution, and implications of not conforming.
Communication
Process of determining what, when, with whom, and how to communicate information relevant to the AI management system.
Operational planning and control
Planning and controlling processes needed to meet AI management system requirements and implement planned actions, including criteria and control of outsourced processes.
Monitoring and measurement
Determining what to monitor, methods used, timing, and when results are analyzed and evaluated for AI management system performance.
Internal audit
Systematic, independent, and documented process for obtaining evidence and objectively evaluating the AI management system against audit criteria.
Management review
Review by top management at planned intervals to confirm the AI management system remains suitable, adequate, and effective.
Nonconformity
Documented failure to meet a specified requirement of the AI management system or of the ISO/IEC 42001 standard.
Corrective action
Action taken to eliminate the cause of a nonconformity and prevent its recurrence in the AI management system.
AI system life cycle
Stages of an AI system from design and development through verification, deployment, operation, monitoring, and eventual decommissioning.
Verification
Confirmation, through provision of objective evidence, that specified requirements for an AI system or its processes have been fulfilled.
Validation
Confirmation, through provision of objective evidence, that requirements for a specific intended use or application of an AI system have been fulfilled.
Data provenance
Record of the origin, custody, and processing history of data used to develop, train, or operate an AI system.
Decommissioning
Controlled withdrawal of an AI system from use, including handling of data, access, documentation, and dependent processes.
