• Implement AI within a strong data-governance framework: PII protection, data residency, access control, identity flows, and audit logging.
• Assess models, vendors, and platforms, and make pragmatic build-versus-buy recommendations.
• Establish monitoring, evaluation, and cost-control practices for AI systems in production.
• Define technical standards for AI work and mentor members of the existing development team.
• Work with risk and compliance to ensure solutions meet regulatory requirements.
• Partner with advisors, operations, and compliance to surface, prioritize, and scope practical AI use cases with clear business value.
