The Importance of ISO/IEC 42001:2023 for AI Adoption in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh
Introduction
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming industries worldwide, from healthcare to finance, agriculture to governance. However, with this rapid adoption comes the responsibility to ensure AI systems are ethical, transparent, and accountable. ISO/IEC 42001:2023, the world’s first international standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS), provides a framework for organizations to manage AI responsibly. For regions like Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, emerging as India’s AI hubs, this standard is vital for sustainable growth. This blog explores its importance, focusing on local relevance and how CK Associates can assist businesses in adopting it.

It applies to any organization using AI, ensuring ethical development, risk management, and compliance with regulations like the EU AI Act. Key components include leadership commitment, risk assessment, and continuous improvement, addressing challenges like bias and privacy concerns.
