What does the 'Human-Centered Design' core element prioritize in AI development?

Human-Centered Design focuses on designing AI systems that respect and enhance human well-being, align with user needs and values, and promote inclusive and accessible technologies.

According to ISO/IEC 42001:2023 – Clauses 4.2 and 6.1.2, and highlighted throughout the PECB Lead Auditor Guide – Domain 1, AI systems should be usable, inclusive, and ethically aligned, especially when intended for diverse or vulnerable user groups.

This principle ensures that humans remain in control and benefit from the capabilities of AI.
