Artificial Intelligence now powers decisions that shape industries, economies, and lives.
But with great power comes one big question:
“Who governs AI?”
That’s where ISO/IEC 42001:2023 comes in —
the world’s first standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS).
And the global authority leading this movement is PECB.
What Is ISO/IEC 42001?
ISO/IEC 42001 defines how organizations can ensure that their AI systems are:
Ethical and accountable
Secure and privacy-compliant
Continuously monitored and improved
Compliant with international regulations like GDPR and the EU AI Act
In short, ISO/IEC 42001 is “the ISO 9001 of Artificial Intelligence.”

PECB is the first globally accredited body to certify professionals in ISO/IEC 42001.
Through Bilginç IT Academy — PECB’s official Turkish partner — you can master AI governance and compliance.

AI runs on data — and data protection is governed by ISO/IEC 27001.
Integrating both ensures your AI systems are not only smart but safe and compliant.
