## Questions this post answers

### What is ISO 42001 and what does it cover for AI governance?

ISO 42001 is the first international standard for an Artificial Intelligence Management System, giving organizations a structured framework for AI risk management. It covers clear roles and responsibilities for AI governance, risk assessment, data quality and model performance, transparency in decisions, continuous monitoring, and support for compliance requirements across the AI lifecycle.

### What are the main AI risks organizations need to manage for compliance?

Key risks include bias in AI models from biased training data, lack of transparency in decision logic, privacy and security risks such as data leakage and prompt injection attacks, compliance and regulatory risk from changing AI rules, and model drift where performance degrades as models process new data over time.

### Does ISO 42001 apply to organizations using third-party AI vendors?

Yes, organizations remain responsible for risks tied to third-party AI systems even when they do not build the models themselves. The framework helps with evaluating vendors, setting governance and performance expectations, and managing third-party AI risk throughout the vendor relationship.
