- ISO/IEC 22989, which establishes foundational AI concepts, definitions and terminology used across the AI standardsPlausible but wrong: 22989 defines AI vocabulary and concepts; it is not a certifiable management system.
- ISO/IEC 42001, which specifies a certifiable AI management system for governing AI across the organization ✓Correct: 42001 defines the AI management system (AIMS), the certifiable management-system standard for AI.
- ISO/IEC 42005, which provides structured guidance for conducting AI system impact assessments on affected peoplePlausible but wrong: 42005 covers impact assessment guidance, not a certifiable management system.
- ISO/IEC 23894, which provides guidance on managing AI-related risk within an organization's processesPlausible but wrong: 23894 offers AI risk-management guidance rather than a certifiable management system.
The trap
Confusing the vocabulary (22989) or impact-assessment (42005) standards with the certifiable management system (42001). How to remember it
ISO/IEC 42001 specifies a certifiable AI management system (AIMS) for governing AI.
