The certified AIMS governs the design, development, deployment, and operation of CMiC's certified AI chatbot within the NEXUS platform, within a structured and internationally recognized framework. The certification was performed by Schellman, an accredited ISO 42001 certification body.

"CMiC's ISO 42001 certification demonstrates the kind of rigorous AI governance that construction technology providers need as AI becomes embedded in mission-critical workflows like cost control and project delivery. Schellman is proud to have conducted this certification, independently verifying that CMiC has built structured controls across the full AI lifecycle - from design and deployment through monitoring and continuous improvement," said Danny Manimbo, Managing Principal and AI Services Leader, Schellman.

In practice, innovation at this pace only earns customer trust when it is matched by equally rigorous oversight, which is precisely what the ISO 42001 certification is designed to verify. CMiC's Commitment to Incorporate Responsible AI in Construction ERP ISO/IEC 42001 is the global standard for artificial intelligence management systems, establishing requirements for organizations to ensure AI is developed and used responsibly. By achieving this certification, CMiC demonstrates that it has implemented formal governance processes to address AI-related risks, data management, transparency, and ethical considerations across the AI lifecycle. The AIMS also addresses emerging AI-specific risks, such as data poisoning and model manipulation, through proactive identification and mitigation processes. In alignment with ISO/IEC 42001 requirements, CMiC provides transparency to customers and stakeholders regarding the capabilities, limitations, and appropriate use of its AI systems, along with defined channels for reporting issues or adverse impacts.
