ISO 42005: AI Impact Assessment – Practical Implementation

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence is no longer experimental. AI systems increasingly influence decisions that affect customers, employees, and society—making AI Impact Assessment a critical governance requirement.

ISO/IEC 42005 provides the first structured international standard dedicated to assessing AI impacts, but many professionals struggle to translate the standard into practical, auditable implementation.This course, ISO 42005: AI Impact Assessment – Practical Implementation, is designed to close that gap.Rather than focusing on theory or abstract ethics discussions, this course walks you step by step through a complete, real-world AI Impact Assessment lifecycle, aligned with ISO/IEC 42005 and ready for use in professional environments. You will learn how to move from AI system definition to impact identification, evaluation, acceptability decisions, mitigation planning, documentation, approval, and ongoing lifecycle reassessment.You will follow a realistic model AI system throughout the course and apply each concept using professional templates, including:AI Impact RegisterImpact Severity & Likelihood Scoring MatrixImpact Treatment PlanAI Impact Assessment (AIIA) ReportRe-assessment Trigger RegisterGovernance & Audit Integration MatrixEvery section follows a consistent explain → apply → practice structure. You will not only understand what ISO 42005 requires, but also how to produce evidence-based, auditable outputs suitable for governance reviews, internal audits, and regulatory scrutiny.The course also goes beyond initial assessment.

You will learn how to:Define trigger-based reassessment for evolving AI systemsIntegrate AI Impact Assessment into governance, risk, and audit structuresPrepare AIIA documentation that aligns with ISO/IEC 42001 and ISO 19011 auditing expectationsMaintain traceability, version control, and accountability over timeThis course is ideal if you are responsible for AI governance, risk, compliance, privacy, security, or audit—and need a practical, standards-aligned approach rather than high-level guidance.By the end of the course, you will be able to confidently initiate, conduct, review, or audit an AI Impact Assessment using ISO/IEC 42005, supported by reusable templates and a clear governance model.
