An AIMS helps an organization govern how AI is planned, implemented, operated, and improved so AI initiatives remain controlled, consistent, and auditable.
An AI management system (AIMS) is a structured approach to managing AI activities so that AI projects and operations are not handled as isolated efforts. It provides a way to define scope, roles, and responsibilities and to translate AI strategy into operational processes and controls.
In practice, an AIMS makes it easier to run AI operations with consistent expectations: policy, risk management, documented information, communication, competence, and monitoring. This helps organizations manage AI initiatives across teams and over time, rather than relying on ad hoc decisions that vary by project.
Because an AIMS includes monitoring, internal audit, management review, and continual improvement, it also supports assurance and readiness for external scrutiny. This is particularly valuable when an organization intends to demonstrate alignment to ISO/IEC 42001 and prepare for a third-party certification audit.
Organizations often treat AI as a collection of pilots. A management system changes the question from "Does this model work?" to "Can we run AI reliably, with clear ownership, evidence, and improvement cycles?"
When scope and roles are defined early, risk and control decisions become easier to sustain across multiple AI initiatives.
“An AIMS turns AI strategy into governed, repeatable operations.”

A GDPR compliance program typically includes governance, documented policies, processing records, risk management, and monitoring activities. It also covers DPIAs, breach handling, and internal checks to track issues and improvements.
It stays effective through monitoring and measurement, internal audits, management review, and continual improvement based on nonconformities and performance insights.
An auditor should look for objective evidence that AI governance processes are defined, implemented, monitored, and improved across the AI lifecycle.
