• Build and maintain an AI risk register and incident response plan for all AI use cases.
• Develop governance policies (privacy, security, quality, fairness, integrity) aligned to HIPAA, CLIA, FDA, GDPR, and emerging AI regulations.
• Translate policies into technical implementations by embedding controls into ETL pipelines, feature stores, and model registries.
• Build and execute agentic automation processes and associated guardrails to enable business process automation.
