How does an AIMS stay effective after go-live?

It stays effective through monitoring and measurement, internal audits, management review, and continual improvement based on nonconformities and performance insights.

Implementation is only the start of an AIMS. To remain effective, the system needs an operating rhythm that checks whether controls and processes still work as intended. ISO/IEC 42001 AIMS operation includes monitoring, measurement, analysis, and evaluation so performance and issues are visible.

Internal audits verify conformity and identify gaps, while management review ensures leadership oversight and prioritization. When nonconformities are found, structured treatment and corrective actions help prevent repeat issues and keep the system aligned with objectives.

Continual improvement ties these activities together so the AIMS adapts as AI operations evolve, new risks emerge, and organizational priorities change.

  • Continual improvement keeps the AIMS aligned to change.

Expert Insight

Many systems fail not because controls are wrong, but because review cycles don't happen. If you institutionalize audits and reviews, improvement becomes routine instead of reactive.

AIMS is sustained by rhythm: monitor, audit, review, improve.
