This course introduces professionals and business leaders to the essential international standards that support responsible, effective, and trustworthy use of artificial intelligence in organisations.

Learners will explore how global AI governance standards help organisations manage risk, accountability, transparency, and decision-making when using AI systems. The course focuses in particular on ISO/IEC 42001, the international standard for AI management systems, and explains how it supports responsible AI governance without requiring technical expertise.

Through practical examples and organisational scenarios, learners gain an understanding of how international standards translate into everyday leadership responsibilities, policies, and controls. The course supports leaders to make informed decisions about AI adoption, oversight, and assurance, while aligning AI use with organisational values, regulatory expectations, and public trust.

This course is designed for professionals who use, oversee, approve, or are accountable for AI systems and outputs, and who need a clear, accessible understanding of how international standards guide responsible AI use in real workplaces.
