Artificial Intelligence and the need for Standards
Global AI adoption is growing steadily. Today, around half of organisations worldwide are reporting substantial benefits from using AI to deliver efficiency and productivity gains; boost creativity and innovation; and increase profitability. With the increased adoption and implementation of AI systems, the development of standards is needed to support the uptake of responsible AI practices.
Standards in AI can help:
- Build trust and public confidence in AI systems by ensuring they are safe, reliable, and operate as intended.
- Ensure AI systems respect human rights, diversity, and privacy.
- Ensure AI systems are secure and protect data privacy.
- Provide a framework for innovation, helping developers create AI systems that are both advanced and responsible.
Responsible AI events
We are pleased to announce three new AI-focused events with the support of the National AI Centre (NAIC), aimed at guiding businesses on how to implement AI responsibly, safely and ethically. The events are targeted for small to medium enterprises and corporates that are using or planning to use AI applications and systems. These events will be hosted in three Australian cities.

Leading the way in AI Standards
Standards create a unified language for AI, benefiting businesses, policy-makers, regulators, and consumers. As AI policies evolve, businesses rely on standards for guidance on ethical and safe AI practices.
Australian experts are pivotal in helping to shape international standards, ensuring they are relevant both locally and globally. Through collaboration with global counterparts, Standards Australia promotes safety, reliability, and innovation.
AS ISO/IEC 42001:2023 is the first international management system standard developed specifically for AI, addressing ethical considerations, transparency, and continual learning. Developed with input from over 50 countries, it provides a framework for governance, risk management, and regulatory compliance, for organisations of any size, type and nature. This standard supports responsible AI use, and improves transparency and efficiency.
AS ISO/IEC 42001:2023 is available via the Standards Australia Store and our distribution partners.
Standards Australia is collaborating with partners in government and industry to create resources and tools for businesses, ensuring safe and reliable AI implementation.
Partnership with National AI Centre (NAIC)
Standards Australia has partnered with NAIC to launch the Responsible Artificial Intelligence Network, aimed at promoting and accelerating responsible AI adoption in Australia. This initiative, supported by industry and science groups, provides best practice guidance, tools, and learning opportunities. Standards Australia’s involvement ensures the promotion of internationally aligned standards and the inclusion of diverse Australian voices in AI standard-setting. Three AI events are planned, see the Register Now links above to learn more, and more events are in the pipeline.
Partnership with Australian National University (ANU)
Standards Australia has partnered with the ANU to offer an in-depth online learning module on AS ISO/IEC 42001:2023, Information technology - Artificial intelligence - Management System. This collaboration aims to help organisations understand and implement best practices for AI risk management, balancing innovation with governance. Participants will gain insights into ethical AI use and receive a certificate of completion.
