Published in December 2023, ISO/IEC 42001:2023 outlines rigorous requirements for establishing, implementing, and continuously improving an Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS). It provides a trusted framework addressing ethical use, transparency, bias mitigation, accountability, and lifecycle governance of AI systems.
“Achieving ISO 42001 certification isn’t just a badge — it’s proof we are using AI deliberately, ethically, and safely,” said Suzanne El‑Moursi, co-founder and CEO of Brighthive. “Our customers rely on us not only to harness insights but to do so responsibly. This certification reassures them that every Brighthive platform deployment is governed under the most exacting international standards.”
