• Developing an AI implementation roadmap, including governance, timelines, milestones, and deliverables.
• Ensuring that all AI implementations comply with legal standards.

• Recommending AI tools, frameworks, and applications to address the specific challenges and opportunities of each organization.
• Establishing technical, administrative, and policy controls for internal AI use.
• Providing training and knowledge transfer to each organization’s internal teams regarding AI capabilities, to ensure that all personnel can adopt and utilize AI tools.
