As AI continues to evolve and become more widespread, organizations are facing increasing pressure. According to PwC’s 2023 Global AI Study: Uncovering the AI Revolution, AI is expected to contribute up to USD 15.7 trillion to global GDP by 2030. With this explosive growth comes the need for more comprehensive regulations to ensure AI is developed and used responsibly, addressing concerns around bias, fairness, transparency, privacy, and security.
A structured framework is essential to manage both the risks and opportunities AI brings, helping to build trust and minimize potential harms. The ISO/IEC 42001:2023 standard was specifically developed to address these unique AI challenges. As a Premier Partner of Google Cloud, Microfusion is excited to announce that Google Cloud’s AI management system has officially achieved ISO/IEC 42001:2023 certification!
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an independent, non-governmental international body with members from 163 national standards organizations. The ISO/IEC 42001 standard helps entities that provide or use AI-based products or services ensure responsible development and deployment of AI systems.
This certification showcases Google Cloud’s commitment to the responsible development and deployment of AI technologies. It underscores the focus on building trust and transparency within the AI ecosystem, while further assuring customers that Google’s AI services meet the industry’s highest standards for quality, security, and ethics.
Microfusion previously assisted Taiwan’s Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in addressing cybersecurity and manpower challenges, demonstrating Google Cloud’s security strength and enabling government agencies to confidently migrate to the cloud.
In an era where AI regulations, such as the EU AI Act, are increasingly shaping the market, this certification serves as a critical foundation for Google Cloud’s ongoing efforts to promote and expand responsible AI. As AI continues to transform industries, the certification reinforces Google Cloud’s leadership in delivering responsible, compliant, and innovative AI solutions.
