CMMI Institute has launched an AI Maturity Model for organisations managing artificial intelligence, aimed at governance, risk, compliance and security teams. Known as CMMI AIM, the framework is intended to give companies a structured way to assess the maturity of their AI governance as regulatory scrutiny of the technology increases. The launch includes an assessment and certification path with appraisals, practitioner and Lead Appraiser certifications, and training courses. Supporting assets include a model viewer and courses titled Building Artificial Intelligence Maturity and Appraising Artificial Intelligence Maturity. CMMI AIM applies AI-related guidance across all 31 CMMI practice areas, with nearly half containing additions specific to AI, and introduces a benchmark view built around eight domains: data, development, people, safety, security, services, suppliers and virtual collaboration. The model is designed to provide visibility into AI maturity, help prioritise investment, standardise practices, and show evidence of AI governance as rules evolve, including the EU AI Act, NIS2 and the Digital Operational Resilience Act. Ron Lear, Vice President of Global CMMI Strategies, stated, "For almost every organisation, AI is a priority, but far fewer show that they are managing it with real discipline, let alone consistent performance innovation."
