      Establish AI governance framework for Azure AI services

    2. 2

      Use Responsible AI Dashboard for fairness and explainability

    3. 3

      Configure Azure ML model monitoring for production

    4. 4

      Implement model versioning with Azure ML Registry

    5. 5

      Build AI governance pipelines with Azure DevOps

    Azure Services for ISO 42001
    Azure Machine Learning
    Azure OpenAI Service
    Responsible AI Dashboard
    Azure Monitor
    Azure DevOps
    Azure Cognitive Services

    Microsoft Azure provides extensive AI capabilities that can be governed under an ISO 42001 AI management system. Azure AI Services, Azure Machine Learning, and Azure OpenAI Service offer powerful AI capabilities requiring responsible governance. Microsofts Responsible AI principles align well with ISO 42001 requirements.

    Azure AI services requiring governance include: Azure Machine Learning for custom models, Azure OpenAI Service for GPT models, Azure AI Services (Cognitive Services), Azure Bot Service, and Power Platform AI Builder. Each requires appropriate governance, risk management, and documentation.

    Align with Microsofts Responsible AI framework. Implement model management in Azure Machine Learning. Configure content filtering for Azure OpenAI. Document AI system behavior and limitations. Implement access controls for AI resources. Monitor for bias and unexpected behavior. Establish human oversight processes.

    ISO 42001 on Azure typically takes 10-16 months. Start by inventorying all Azure AI services, align with Responsible AI principles, establish governance framework, implement technical controls, document AI systems, conduct internal audits, and engage a certification body.
