Overview

Overview

Overview

The ISO/IEC 42001 Auditor Track prepares participants to conduct internal audits of AI Management Systems (AIMS). AI introduces unique risks such as bias, drift, data quality issues, explainability limitations, or emerging regulatory demands. Auditors must understand how these risks are managed across the AI lifecycle.

The track covers the full audit life cycle and enables effective AIMS audits in internal auditing, supplier auditing as well as third-party auditing contexts.
