What does an AI Governance Specialist do?
An AI Governance Specialist ensures that AI is developed and used responsibly and lawfully. They translate regulations, ethical principles and risk requirements into policies, controls and daily practice.
A fractional specialist gives you access to scarce regulatory and risk expertise without a permanent hire. They work with legal, IT, data and business teams to make compliance practical rather than a paper exercise.

Frequently asked questions
What does the EU AI Act mean for my company?
It depends on how you use AI and which risk category your systems fall into. Providers and deployers of high-risk systems face the strictest duties, but all organizations must meet requirements such as AI literacy and transparency.
Is an AI Governance Specialist a lawyer?
Not necessarily. Our specialists combine regulatory, risk and technical knowledge. For formal legal advice we can work alongside your legal counsel.
Do you only help with the EU AI Act?
No. We also cover GDPR, ISO/IEC 42001, the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, ethics guidelines and sector-specific rules.
We are a small company. Do we need governance?
Yes, but proportionate. A fractional specialist can set up a lightweight framework that meets your obligations without heavy bureaucracy.
Can you take over the role of AI compliance officer on an interim basis?
Yes. Many clients hire an interim AI Governance Specialist to run compliance until a permanent solution is in place.
How long does it take to become compliant?
A first inventory and gap analysis often takes three to six weeks. Full implementation depends on the number and risk level of your AI systems.
