What is the right series of AI system lifecycle?

The correct lifecycle sequence for an AI system as outlined inISO/IEC 42001:2023and supporting lifecycle methodologies (such as those influenced by ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 and ISO/IEC TR 24028) is:

System Requirements & Specification Finalization

System Design & Development

System Verification & Validation

System Deployment

System Operation & Monitoring

This lifecycle ensures that all AI systems are planned, built, tested, and monitored effectively to addressfunctional, ethical, and risk management objectives.

The standard encourages applying astructured lifecycle approachto ensure that AI systems meet organizational goals and stakeholder expectations throughout their operational period.
