The ISO 42001 standard is the first published standard on Artificial Intelligence management systems, developed to help organizations establish a solid framework for AI governance. With this standard, different regulations and ethical codes are integrated, aligning with the recently approved Artificial Intelligence Law by the European Parliament. The primary purpose of this law is to protect fundamental rights and promote environmental sustainability, setting clear guidelines for AI systems according to their risks and impact.
Additionally, ISO 42001 defines specific obligations for high-risk systems, such as those using critical infrastructure, related to the educational and training fields, providing essential public and private services, and those in the judicial sector. These systems must conduct analyses and audits to mitigate risks, as well as comply with transparency requirements, among others.

The Importance of Incorporating Artificial Intelligence into the Workplace
AI offers numerous advantages that can transform entire sectors by optimizing processes, improving efficiency, and fostering innovation. One of the most significant benefits of Artificial Intelligence at work is the automation of repetitive and tedious tasks. This not only frees employees from these activities, allowing them to focus on more strategic and creative tasks, but also increases accuracy and reduces human error. For example, in the manufacturing industry, robots and AI systems can handle mass production with efficiency and consistency that surpass human capabilities.
Moreover, AI enhances business decision-making by providing advanced data analysis. Artificial Intelligence algorithms can review large volumes of data in real-time, identifying patterns and trends that would be impossible to detect manually. This allows companies to anticipate market needs, personalize offers, and improve customer satisfaction.
AI also plays a crucial role in cybersecurity, as AI systems can detect and respond to threats in real-time, protecting sensitive information and ensuring business continuity.
