Question 2

How does Joel Leslie help organisations implement AI safely?

Accepted Answer

Joel Leslie acts as an independent bridge between enterprise leadership and AI vendors, with no stake in which technology an organisation chooses. He guides organisations through a four-phase implementation framework: Strategy (identifying where AI creates real value), Build (vendor-neutral evaluation and oversight of AI capability creation), Deploy (phased integration into production with human oversight protocols), and Enable (team adoption and ongoing governance). Critically, he establishes governance foundations before deployment, aligned to NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001:2023, and the EU AI Act.

Question 3

What AI governance frameworks does Joel Leslie use?

Accepted Answer

Joel Leslie works with four primary AI governance frameworks: the NIST AI Risk Management Framework (Govern, Map, Measure, Manage), ISO 42001:2023 (the first certifiable international standard for AI Management Systems), the EU AI Act (risk-based classification with mandatory requirements for high-risk AI), and the Australian Government AI Ethics Principles (eight principles covering fairness, privacy, transparency, and accountability). He helps organisations understand which frameworks apply to their context and implements them operationally, not just on paper.

What is an AI company briefing and who is it for?

No prior AI knowledge required.
