Amazon Web Services (AWS) is excited to be the first major cloud service provider to announce ISO/IEC 42001 accredited certification for AI services, covering: Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Q Business, Amazon Textract, and Amazon Transcribe. ISO/IEC 42001 is an international management system standard that outlines requirements and controls for organizations to promote the responsible development and use of AI systems.
Responsible AI is a long-standing commitment at AWS. From the outset, AWS has prioritized responsible AI innovation and developed rigorous methodologies to build and operate our AI services with consideration for fairness, explainability, privacy and security, safety, controllability, veracity and robustness, governance, and transparency.
AWS is an active stakeholder working with global standard-setting organizations to develop guidelines that play an important role in our industry by improving clarity, definitions and scope, establishing benchmarks for responsible AI practices, and focusing industry efforts on effective options for addressing risk. Our goal is to contribute to and improve AI standards across several critical areas, including risk management, data quality, unwanted bias mitigation, and explainability.
Technical standards, such as ISO/IEC 42001, are significant because they provide a common framework for responsible AI development and deployment, fostering trust and interoperability in an increasingly global and AI-driven technological landscape. Achieving ISO/IEC42001 certification means that an independent third party has validated that AWS is taking proactive steps to manage risks and opportunities associated with AI development, deployment, and operation. This independent validation enables our customers to gain further assurances around AWS’s commitment to responsible AI and their ability to build and operate AI applications responsibly using AWS Services.
“At Snowflake, delivering AI capabilities to our customers is a top priority. Our product teams need to build and deploy AI responsibly, and have to depend upon our suppliers to do the same, despite the technical complexity. This is why ISO 42001 is important to us. Having ISO 42001 certification means a company has implemented a thoughtful AI management system. Knowing that AWS has ISO 42001 certified services gives us confidence in their commitment to the responsible development and deployment of their services, and builds trust with our own customers’ confidence in our products,” said Tim Tutt, VP US Public Sector, Snowflake.
An accredited certification, like ISO/IEC 42001, is issued by a certification body that has been recognized by a national or international accreditation authority. This demonstrates that the certification is credible, trustworthy, and based on independent verification. In this case, Schellman Compliance, LLC, an ISO certification body accredited by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB), granted the certification.
