Chief AI Officer
Most businesses now use artificial intelligence somewhere, but few have anyone accountable for it. A Chief AI Officer sets the direction, governs the risk and decides where AI genuinely earns its place. BPS provides that leadership on a fractional or interim basis.
What a Chief AI Officer does
A Chief AI Officer owns how artificial intelligence is used across the business: where it is applied, how it is governed, what data it touches and who answers for the decisions it influences.
Few mid-sized businesses need that role full time, or can justify the salary. BPS provides it fractionally, on an interim basis or for a defined program, giving you senior AI leadership scaled to what you genuinely require.
The work spans strategy and people: identifying where AI delivers return, establishing the governance that keeps it safe, and building your team’s capability so adoption survives well beyond the first pilot.
Who it’s for
The situation this service is built for.
- AI tools are being adopted across the business without oversight or a common standard.
- You are unsure which AI opportunities are worth pursuing and which are distractions.
- Nobody holds clear accountability for AI risk, data handling or model decisions.
- Customers, insurers or tender processes are asking how you govern AI.
- Your team needs capability and training, not another platform subscription.
What you get
Where you end up once it’s working.
- Senior AI leadership without a full-time executive appointment.
- A prioritised view of where AI delivers genuine return.
- Clear accountability, governance and controls over AI use.
- A workforce equipped to use AI capably and safely.
- Readiness for ISO/IEC 42001 and emerging regulation.
How the engagement works
- Assess current AI use across the business, including tools adopted informally.
- Develop an AI strategy and roadmap aligned to your commercial priorities.
- Establish AI governance covering acceptable use, data handling and decision accountability.
- Evaluate and select vendors, tools and platforms against your requirements.
- Build workforce capability through role-based training and clear operating guidance.
- Prepare you for ISO/IEC 42001 certification and emerging obligations.
Why BPS
We combine executive-level AI leadership with the governance discipline behind our ISO/IEC 42001 work, so adoption stays ambitious and controlled at the same time. BPS is based in Perth and works with businesses across Western Australia.
