    AI / ML Governance — GTC team

    Every product is becoming an AI product — every product now needs AI governance

    Two years ago, AI governance was a topic for research labs. Today, every B2B procurement form asks 'do you use AI in your product?', every enterprise customer asks where the model was trained, and every regulator from Brussels to Sacramento is moving on AI rules.

    The good news is that AI governance is not new law from scratch — it's a sensible application of existing privacy, IP and consumer-protection law plus a few new instruments (the EU AI Act, Colorado's AI Act, the FTC's Section 5 enforcement). The work is in mapping it onto how your product actually uses AI, building a governance framework your team can run, and producing the documentation regulators and enterprise customers will increasingly ask for.

    Who this is for

    AI-native startups

    You're building a model-first product and need policies, IP rights, and a governance story for your Series A diligence.

    SaaS adding AI features

    You're adding generative or predictive features to an existing product and need to do it without breaking your existing privacy commitments.

    Enterprises deploying AI

    You're rolling out internal AI tools and need usage policies, vendor-DD process, and a risk register the board can sign off on.

    AI consumer products

    Your users interact with AI directly — you need disclosures, content moderation, and harm-mitigation policies that hold up.

    What's included

    • Free written AI governance audit
    • EU AI Act risk classification of each AI use case
    • AI Act readiness roadmap (with phased deadlines through 2026)
    • Model documentation templates (model cards, data sheets)
    • Training-data provenance review and IP risk assessment
    • Internal AI usage policy for employees
    • Customer-facing AI disclosures and consent flows
    • AI vendor due-diligence checklist and contract addenda
    • Human-oversight, transparency and contestability controls
    • Risk register and review cadence aligned to ISO 42001
    • Generative-AI-specific terms (output ownership, no-train commitments)

    EU AI Act in plain English

    What the AI Act actually requires — and when each piece bites

    The EU AI Act is now in force and applies in stages through 2026 and 2027. It classifies AI systems into four risk tiers: prohibited (e.g. social scoring), high-risk (e.g. AI in employment, credit, education, critical infrastructure), limited-risk (chatbots, generative AI — transparency obligations) and minimal risk (most everything else).

    If any of your AI use cases falls into 'high-risk', the obligations are substantial: a quality management system, data governance, technical documentation, record-keeping, transparency to users, human oversight, accuracy and robustness, cybersecurity, conformity assessment and registration. Most B2B AI products land in 'limited risk' — which still requires user-facing disclosures and clear labelling for AI-generated content.

    • Prohibited AI: in force from February 2025.
    • General-purpose AI model obligations: from August 2025.
    • High-risk AI obligations: phased through August 2026 / 2027.
    • Penalties: up to €35m or 7% of global turnover for prohibited-use violations.

    Training data and IP

    The two questions every AI investor and customer now asks

    First: where did you get your training data, and do you have the rights to use it for the purpose you used it for? Public web scraping is increasingly contested (Getty v Stability AI, NYT v OpenAI), licensed data is the safer route, and synthetic data is rising fast — but each has its own risk profile.

    Second: who owns the model output? Generative-AI products need clear customer-facing terms about output ownership, model-improvement commitments (or 'no-train' commitments for enterprise customers), and indemnification for IP claims arising from output. We draft all three, in language that survives enterprise procurement review.
