Corsight AI, the global leader in ethical facial intelligence solutions, today announced it has become the first facial recognition company in the world to be awarded the ISO/IEC 42001 certification – the new international standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems.
Developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), ISO/IEC 42001 sets requirements for governing and managing responsible AI systems in a safe, transparent, and trustworthy way. The certification recognises organisations that can demonstrate strong processes for risk management, accountability, and regulatory alignment across the entire AI lifecycle.
“Achieving ISO/IEC 42001 confirms that Corsight is not just building powerful AI — we’re building it responsibly,” said Shai Toren, CEO of Corsight AI. “We believe ethical facial intelligence is only possible with full transparency, privacy-by-design and strict governance, and this certification provides formal recognition of that commitment.”
Corsight AI completed an independent audit by a UKAS-accredited body to achieve the certification, demonstrating compliance across data management, algorithm development, human oversight, and continuous improvement processes.
“This is another significant milestone in our mission to deliver the world’s most accurate and trusted facial recognition technology,” said Tony Porter QPM, Chief Privacy Officer at Corsight AI. “ISO/IEC 42001 sets the global benchmark for AI governance – and we are proud to lead the industry by being the first to attain it.”
The certification reinforces Corsight’s position at the forefront of responsible AI development and supports customers across law enforcement, critical infrastructure, transportation, and enterprise in deploying solutions that meet emerging regulatory requirements around the world.
