How To Build Your AI Governance Guardrails

While artificial intelligence adoption continues to increase across life sciences, governance frameworks lag behind, leaving organizations vulnerable to regulatory penalties and technical debt. ISO 42001 addresses this gap as the first international management system standard built specifically for AI governance. Unlike general information security frameworks, it provides 38 controls across nine domains to directly mitigate risks such as AI hallucinations, shadow AI, and unexplainable model outputs.

Implementing ISO 42001 requires shifting from passive awareness to accountability-based execution across cross-functional teams, including engineering, legal, security, and quality. Operationalizing these controls early establishes traceable data lineage, continuous risk monitoring, and alignment with emerging regulations like the EU AI Act. Watch the full presentation to learn practical strategies for building an ISO 42001-compliant AI governance framework.
