ISO/IEC 23894 — AI Risk Management Guidance

ISO/IEC 23894 gives guidance on managing risk specific to AI. It applies the ISO 31000 risk process to AI systems throughout their life cycle and supports the risk requirements of ISO 42001.

Mutex Systems uses it to build the AI risk process that ISO 42001 auditors look for.
