Question 1 of 10

An organisation procures a third-party general-purpose AI model and fine-tunes it for a specific use case. How should its AIMS treat this?

The organisation should assess risks across the AI system's lifecycle including the procured component, considering what the third-party provider does and does not address, similar in spirit to supply chain security in other management systemsThird-party AI components are automatically outside AIMS scopeThe AIMS only needs to address AI systems built entirely in-houseNo additional risk assessment is needed if the base model was already certified by the vendor

Question 2 of 10

Which of the following would be relevant considerations when scoping an AIMS for an organisation that both develops and deploys multiple AI systems across different business units?

Select all that apply.

Which AI systems and business units are included in the certification scope, and whyInterfaces and dependencies between AI systems and the organisation's broader IT/data governanceHow risk assessment criteria will be applied consistently across systems with very different risk profilesThe unrelated compensation structure of the sales department

Question 3 of 10

How might an organisation use its AIMS to support 'responsible AI' commitments that go beyond strict legal compliance?

Responsible AI commitments are entirely outside the scope of any management system standardAn AIMS cannot support anything beyond minimum legal complianceBy setting AI objectives (Clause 6.2) and policies that embed values such as fairness, transparency and accountability, and by using ongoing monitoring and improvement (Clause 10) to track progress against themBy outsourcing all ethical considerations to a single external auditor with no internal ownership

Question 4 of 10

A certification body flags that an organisation's AI risk assessment methodology does not adequately distinguish between risk to the organisation and risk to individuals/society. What is the significance of this finding?

It only matters for public sector organisationsThe finding indicates the organisation should abandon its risk methodology and stop assessing AI riskIt is significant, since a core aim of the AIMS is to help organisations responsibly manage risks and impacts associated with AI, including to individuals and society, not solely business riskIt is not significant — ISO/IEC 42001 only cares about organisational risk

Question 5 of 10

Because ISO/IEC 42001 is a management system standard, an organisation can in principle integrate it with ISO/IEC 27001 and other ISO management system standards using a common high-level structure, easing combined audits.

TrueFalse

Question 6 of 10

What is a key governance challenge when an organisation's AI objectives (Clause 6.2) conflict with commercial pressure to deploy AI systems faster than planned risk assessments allow?

The AIMS requires the organisation to always prioritise speed over risk assessmentThe AIMS is meant to surface exactly this kind of tension so top management can make an informed, accountable decision rather than have risk management silently bypassedThis scenario falls entirely outside what Clause 5.1 leadership commitment addressesNo challenge exists — AIMS requirements are automatically satisfied regardless of deployment speed

Question 7 of 10

How should an organisation approach Clause 8.2 AI risk assessment for an AI system whose behaviour can change after deployment (e.g. through continued learning or drift)?

Risk assessment and monitoring should account for the possibility of performance drift or behavioural change over time, consistent with the AIMS's emphasis on ongoing monitoring and planned-interval reassessmentContinued learning systems should never be assessed since their behaviour is unpredictable by definitionA single pre-deployment risk assessment is always sufficient with no further reviewOnly the original training data needs to be assessed, never post-deployment behaviour

Question 8 of 10

Which of the following would strengthen an organisation's ability to demonstrate AI accountability to external stakeholders (regulators, customers, auditors) under a mature AIMS?

Select all that apply.

A policy that documentation is optional and left to individual engineers' discretionEvidence of management review of AI performance, incidents, and risk treatment statusMaintained documentation linking AI risk assessments to specific deployed systems and their intended useClear internal ownership (roles/responsibilities) for AI risk decisions

Question 9 of 10

Why might an organisation choose to pursue ISO/IEC 42001 certification even in a jurisdiction with no binding AI-specific legislation?

To provide independent assurance of responsible AI governance to customers, partners and investors, and to prepare for future regulation that may reference similar management-system-based expectationsCertification would have zero relevance outside the EU AI Act's own jurisdictionISO/IEC 42001 can only be pursued by government bodiesThere is never any reason to do so absent a legal mandate

Question 10 of 10

What distinguishes 'AI risk' addressed under Clause 8.2 from general information security risk addressed under a standard like ISO/IEC 27001?

AI risk can include considerations specific to AI systems (e.g. model behaviour, bias, explainability, robustness to unexpected inputs) in addition to conventional confidentiality/integrity/availability concernsThere is no distinction whatsoeverInformation security risk is a subset that fully captures all AI risk with nothing left overAI risk only concerns hardware failures
