What does an AI governance specialist do?
An AI governance specialist helps an organisation use AI responsibly and lawfully. That usually means building an inventory of AI systems, classifying them by risk, setting policies and controls, deciding who is accountable, and checking suppliers. The aim is to show regulators, customers and boards that AI risks are understood, managed and documented.
Does the EU AI Act apply to UK companies?
Yes, depending on the company's role and how its AI is used. Article 2 covers providers supplying AI systems or general-purpose AI models to the EU market, wherever they are based. It also covers providers and deployers outside the EU when an AI system's output is used in the EU. A UK company should assess its role, the system's use and the Act's exclusions to determine which obligations apply.
