DATA QUALITY : Translate policy into technical controls (e.g., model-card metadata, bias tests, prompt-filter APIs, secrets-management, lineage tracking) and verify deployment in MLOps / LLMOps pipelines. Lead periodic control testing, red-team exercises, and Responsible-AI reviews. COMPLIANCE & RISK MANAGEMENT : Monitor global AI-related regulations; map new obligations to policy updates and platform backlog items.
