Strengthening Responsible AI Usage: i-PRO Achieves AIMS Certification with Newton Consulting's Support

i-PRO and the Journey to AIMS Certification



i-PRO Inc., a leading company in the field of security and medical edge computing cameras, has made a significant move toward strengthening its responsible use of AI. On July 2, 2025, Newton Consulting, a risk management consulting firm based in Japan, revealed that it had assisted i-PRO in the implementation of an AI Management System based on the ISO/IEC 42001 standard. This certification underscores i-PRO's commitment to ethical AI practices, looking to build trust with customers while upgrading their AI and security initiatives.

The Importance of Responsible AI Practices


As the global demand for AI-driven security solutions increases, i-PRO aims to enhance customer trust by clearly stating its commitment to responsible AI use. By integrating AI capabilities into almost all of their camera products, i-PRO has positioned itself as a front-runner in intelligent video security. However, merely leveraging AI technology wasn't enough—they realized the necessity of showcasing their ethical stance on AI to solidify customer relationships. To achieve this, the company decided to pursue the AIMS certification (AI Management System) under the guidance of Newton Consulting.

A Structured Approach to Certification


Newton Consulting provided comprehensive support throughout the AIMS certification process, spanning from system construction to the final audit. The project was structured into phases:

1. Construction Phase: This initial stage focused on fulfilling the general requirements of AIMS and Annex A. Activities included conducting top management interviews, formulating AI policies, creating an AI operational rulebook, and performing an AI risk assessment.

2. Support Phase for Review: Leveraging the groundwork laid in Phase 1, the second phase involved preparing for the audit by addressing questions and organizing necessary documents, ensuring a smooth review process.

One of the unique aspects of this project was i-PRO's ability to integrate AI into their existing Quality Management System (QMS). Given that the company had a pre-established QMS, the project team expanded this system to include essential elements of AI while maintaining compliance. This thoughtful approach allowed i-PRO to secure AIMS certification while preparing for future AI regulations.
