ISO/IEC 42001 - Lead Implementer

As the world witnesses the relentless advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI), there is an increasing need for effective standardisation and regulation to ensure its responsible use.

ISO/IEC 42001 has been developed to respond to urgent inquiries concerning AI’s unchecked expansion and potential threats. It specifies the requirements and offers guidance to establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve an AI management system (AIMS) within the context of an organisation. It provides a framework for the ethical implementation of AI systems, offering a comprehensive approach to ensure that AI technologies align with the principles of fairness, transparency, accountability, and privacy.

The ISO/IEC 42001 Lead Implementer training course is designed to prepare you to implement AI management system in accordance with ISO/IEC 42001. It provides you with the necessary competencies to effectively translate AI strategies into actionable solutions. It aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of AI implementation best practices and a framework for its successful integration within organizations, equipping you with the hands-on expertise to drive AIMS implementation projects.

After successfully completing the course and passing the exam, you can apply for the “PECB Certified ISO/IEC 42001 Lead Implementer” credential that demonstrates your ability to effectively implement AI strategies.
