Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are
members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical
committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical
activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the
work.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance
are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria
needed for the different types of document should be noted. This document was drafted in

Introduction
Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly applied across all sectors utilizing information technology
and is expected to be one of the main economic drivers. A consequence of this trend is that certain
applications can give rise to societal challenges over the coming years.
This document intends to help organizations responsibly perform their role with respect to AI systems
(e.g. to use, develop, monitor or provide products or services that utilize AI). AI potentially raises
specific considerations such as:
— The use of AI for automatic decision-making, sometimes in a non-transparent and non-explainable
way, can require specific management beyond the management of classical IT systems.
— The use of data analysis, insight and machine learning, rather than human-coded logic to design
systems, both increases the application opportunities for AI systems and changes the way that such
systems are developed, justified and deployed.
