Writing from the Fractional Chief AI Officer practice.
Governance material written for the people who carry the risk: managing directors, boards, and the operators who have to make an AI policy work on a Tuesday morning. No predictions, no vendor commentary.
Four pieces, read in any order.
Together they cover what the role is, what the controls are, who regulates what in the UAE, and how a board should interrogate all of it.
What does a Fractional Chief AI Officer actually do?
The mandate, the first 90 days, and how a fractional appointment compares with a full-time hire.
