What is ISO/IEC 23894?
Why is ISO/IEC 23894 important?
The ISO/IEC 23894:2023, an international standard that provides a framework for managing the unique risks associated with artificial intelligence (AI) systems throughout their lifecycle. It’s important because it helps organizations ensure their AI systems are developed and used safely, ethically, and responsibly, mitigating potential harms like algorithmic bias, privacy breaches, and autonomous system failures. By adopting this standard, organizations can build trust, ensure regulatory compliance, and gain a competitive advantage through robust, risk-informed AI governance.
Benefits
- Enhance their ability to manage AI risks effectively.
- Improve the reliability and performance of their AI models.
- Increase stakeholder trust in their AI initiatives.
