- Stay fluent in the legal and regulatory landscape, especially in industry verticals (e.g. public sector, financial services, healthcare)
- Navigate ever-evolving AI terms and conditions — including acceptable use policies, data training restrictions, model output liability, ownership, and AI governance - and AI regulatory developments, from the EU AI Act to emerging U.S. frameworks
