Explanation
The most relevant core principle here is Fairness and Non-Discrimination. This principle aims to ensure that AI systems do not create or perpetuate bias, especially in high-stakes decision- making areas such as financial services. According to ISO/IEC 42001:2023 - Clause 6.1.2 and Annex A (A.8.2.4), organizations must evaluate and manage risks related to bias, discrimination, and ethical implications of AI decisions. In the PECB Lead Auditor Guide, Fairness is cited as critical in sectors like finance, hiring, healthcare, and where decisions may adversely impact protected groups.
