A set of interrelated or interacting elements of an organization to establish policies, objectives, and processes for the responsible development or use of AI.
An AIMS (as defined by ISO/IEC 42001) provides the governing structure for an organization's AI activities. It follows the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle to ensure continuous improvement. Unlike a single policy, an AIMS integrates risk management, resource allocation, and performance evaluation into the corporate fabric to ensure AI remains ethical and compliant.
Real world example:
A tech company implements an AIMS to centralize how every department - from HR to Product - approves new AI use cases and monitors them for performance drift.
