ISO/IEC 42001 Awareness

It is for employees, managers and teams who develop, provide or use AI systems in their organisation. No technical AI background is needed. The course helps people understand why an AI management system matters to trust, customers and regulators, and what responsible use and development of artificial intelligence looks like in their own daily work.

It covers why an AI management system matters; key terms such as AI system and AI management system, and the roles organisations play; context, scope and AI policy; AI risk assessment and treatment; AI system impact assessment; the Annex A controls in plain words; performance evaluation and continual improvement; and each person's part in responsible AI use.

No. The Certificate of Completion is a training certificate: it shows that one person completed ISO/IEC 42001 Awareness and reached the pass mark in its final exam. It is not certification of an organisation to ISO/IEC 42001, and Sterling does not certify organisations. An organisation is certified by an independent certification body after that body's own audit.

Under ISO/IEC 42001:2023 they are separate activities. An AI risk assessment looks at risks to the organisation and its AI management system, which are then treated. An AI system impact assessment looks at the effects an AI system can have on individuals, groups and society. The course explains both and why an organisation needs each.
