ISO/IEC 23894

ISO/IEC 23894 is an international standard providing guidance on managing risks specific to AI systems, published in February 2023. It complements ISO 31000 (general risk management) and ISO/IEC 42001 (AI management systems) by addressing the unique risks of AI — including bias, opacity, autonomy, data quality, and unintended emergent behavior. The standard offers practical guidance on AI risk identification, assessment, treatment, and monitoring throughout the AI lifecycle. While non-certifiable on its own, ISO/IEC 23894 is widely referenced in regulatory and corporate frameworks. The EU AI Act draws on similar concepts. NIST's AI RMF parallels the standard in many areas. Together with ISO/IEC 42001, it provides the international management-system foundation for responsible AI. AI governance, AI compliance, and AI risk management programs increasingly map their controls to ISO/IEC 23894 to demonstrate alignment with internationally-accepted practice — particularly multinational enterprises operating across multiple regulatory regimes for enterprise AI deployments.
