You will understand how to align AI development and deployment with global governance standards, manage risks effectively, and foster trust. Through clear written explanations and practical scenarios, you will learn to structure AI initiatives responsibly, addressing modern challenges like algorithmic bias, generative AI governance, and data privacy. What you'll learn: - Understand the fundamental terminology, core principles, and structure of the ISO/IEC 42001 standard. - Analyze the ethical considerations, risk management strategies, and compliance requirements unique to AI systems. - Design a structured framework for an Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS) within an organization. - Evaluate AI-specific risks, including generative AI policies, algorithmic bias, and data governance. - Implement continuous monitoring and performance evaluation processes to maintain AIMS compliance. The course begins with foundational definitions of AI governance before guiding you through the step-by-step requirements of the ISO standard.
