Revisiting ISO/IEC 42001 | AI management systems
04/22/25 • 39 min
Artificial Intelligence (AI) holds immense promise to transform lives, benefit society, and support a sustainable future. But as AI advances rapidly, it’s crucial to understand what AI is—and isn’t—and how it can be developed and used responsibly.
In this episode, Matthew welcomes back Pauline Norstrom, CEO of AI business Anekanta, to discuss ISO/IEC 42001—the AI management systems standard. Designed to help organizations maximize the benefits of AI while ensuring responsible development, the standard also helps build public trust.
Pauline shares the key features of ISO/IEC 42001, its global adaptability, and its potential to bring structure to the “wild west” of AI. She also reflects on the shifts in the global AI landscape since December 2023, including major policy moves in the US, China, Europe, and the UK - and offers insights into what’s next for AI and standards development.

In this episode, Matthew Chiles is at the Furniture Industry Research Association (FIRA) in Stevenage, home to the iconic ‘BSI standard bum’—a quirky but crucial tool used since the mid-1960s to test the durability of sofas, chairs, and beds.
Alongside this fascinating bit of testing tech, Matthew meets Levent Caglar, FIRA’s Head of Consultancy and Senior Ergonomist, and a legendary figure in ergonomics and standards-making. Levent has spent over 40 years shaping the design and safety of furniture we all use daily. From office chairs to children's furniture, his influence is everywhere.
The episode explores Levent’s extensive work developing British, European, and international standards, including ISO 9241 on ergonomics and human-centred design. Discover how standards shape the furniture world and the career of one of its most influential figures.
