    Implementation on AWS

    Cloud-Specific Considerations

    AWS ISO 42001 requires implementing AI governance across SageMaker, Bedrock, and other AI services while ensuring model transparency and fairness.

    Implementation Roadmap
    1. 1

      Establish AI governance framework for AWS AI services

    2. 2

      Use SageMaker Clarify for bias detection and explainability

    3. 3

      Implement SageMaker Model Monitor for production monitoring

    4. 4

      Configure model versioning and lineage tracking

    5. 5

      Build AI incident response workflows with Step Functions

    AWS provides AI and ML services that can be governed under an ISO 42001 AI management system. From SageMaker for model development to Bedrock for foundation models, AWS offers comprehensive AI capabilities that require governance. Implementing ISO 42001 helps ensure responsible AI practices on AWS.

    AWS AI services requiring governance include: SageMaker for ML development and deployment, Bedrock for foundation model access, Comprehend for NLP, Rekognition for computer vision, Personalize for recommendations, and various AI-powered services. Each requires appropriate governance and risk management.

    Establish AI governance policies covering AWS AI services. Implement model versioning and documentation in SageMaker. Configure access controls for AI resources. Monitor model performance and bias. Document AI decision-making processes. Implement human oversight for high-risk AI applications.

    ISO 42001 on AWS typically takes 10-16 months. Start by inventorying all AWS AI services in use, establish governance framework, implement technical controls for AI development, document AI system behavior, conduct internal audits, and engage a certification body.
