AI Regulation - Why Choose ISO42001

The increasing use of AI has raised many concerns about its impact on fundamental rights and freedoms. In response to this, the European Union (EU) has taken a significant step to regulate AI.

EU’s AI-forordning er verdens første konkrete initiativ til regulering af AI. Den har til formål at gøre Europa til et globalt centrum for pålidelig AI ved at fastlægge regler for udvikling, markedsføring og brug af AI i EU. Forordningen sigter på at sikre, at AI-systemer i EU er sikre og respekterer grundlæggende rettigheder og værdier. Desuden er dens mål at fremme investering og innovation inden for AI, forbedre styring og håndhævelse samt opmuntre til et enkelt EU-marked for AI.

The regulation has established clear definitions for the various actors involved in AI: providers, implementers, importers, distributors, and manufacturers of products. This means that all parties involved in the development, use, import, distribution, or manufacturing of AI models will be held accountable. 

Despite the absence of legislation regarding AI usage, you can proactively embrace responsibility in the use of AI as a business, both for your organization and your customers.
