On June 9, 2026, the Project Management Institute (PMI) introduced The Standard for Artificial Intelligence in Portfolio, Program, and Project Management, the world’s first ANSI-accredited global standard dedicated to the responsible use of AI across project-based work.
As organizations accelerate AI adoption, many face challenges around governance, accountability, ethics, and risk management. PMI’s new standard provides a practical, technology-agnostic framework that helps organizations move beyond AI experimentation toward structured, responsible, and value-driven implementation.
Designed for project professionals, PMO leaders, executives, and organizations managing AI-enabled initiatives, the standard introduces eight guiding principles, five performance domains, and practical guidance on governance, human oversight, legal and ethical considerations, and AI lifecycle management.
