About

EU AI Act obligations in force from 2 August 2026
Most organisations know they need to do something about AI. Very few know where to start, and even fewer know what the EU AI Act actually requires of them. That is the gap I fill.

I am an AI trainer and transition manager for organisations of every kind, from public bodies, law firms and financial institutions to any team that wants AI they can actually trust and use compliantly. I start by training teams to get the most out of AI tools they already have, with full compliance built in. For teams that need more, I step in as their fractional AI officer or lead the full transition directly. With 12 years of teaching, 50+ courses, a PhD in AI, 18 years of research, more than 600,000 euros in research grants, and production deployments at regulated institutions, I bring depth that most trainers and most consultants do not have separately, let alone together.

Why It Stays Current

I do not learn about new AI from blog posts. As a peer reviewer for leading international AI conferences and journals, an evaluator for EU Horizon and Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions funding calls, and an examiner of PhD theses, I see the research before it is published, and I judge where Europe is putting its most serious research funding. I am also active in AI research and practitioner communities, and I lead an AI company that ships production systems today. Few people combine seeing tomorrow's research, judging where the money is going, and building real products this week. That is what I bring to every engagement.

How I Help

EU AI Act obligations in force from 2 August 2026
The AI Act is not optional. Article 4 requires demonstrable AI literacy from every organisation using AI. Transparency, human oversight, and traceability are hard obligations, not aspirations. I solve all of them.

AI Literacy and Training

I design and deliver AI literacy programmes that satisfy Article 4 of the EU AI Act with documented, measurable outcomes. Every programme is built around the four obligations: literacy, transparency, human oversight, and traceability, using the AI tools your team already has. No prior AI background needed. 93% overall satisfaction rate. 4.0 / 4 trainer rating.

AI Transition Management

For organisations that need direct, hands-on leadership of their AI transformation. I step in for a defined period, typically one to two months, assess what AI should do for you, build the first compliant, human-supervised pipelines with your team, and leave them fully operational and AI Act-compliant. Two ways to agree the fee: fixed price, or fixed costs plus a share of the savings I generate.

Fractional AI Officer

For organisations that need ongoing expert presence without a full-time hire. I act as your fractional AI officer, adapting to your pace and your needs, keeping your AI use compliant as the Act evolves, and bridging the gap between your team's capability and what the regulation requires. Available after a training engagement or independently.

Enidia AI

In 2023 I co-founded Enidia AI, building trustworthy, on-premise AI for regulated industries. GDPR and EU AI Act by design. Clients include a top-10 international law firm, where a production document review was cut from about 25 hours to about 4.

Research and funded projects

As principal investigator I have led more than 600,000 euros of public research funding, including an FNR CORE grant, Luxembourg's most competitive instrument. My access-to-justice work built AI that helps the public navigate the law, including a patent law assistant.

Academic standing

Peer reviewer for leading international AI conferences and journals, evaluator for EU Horizon and Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions, and PhD thesis examiner. I see new AI research before it reaches the public. My own record: 33 refereed conference papers, 3 journal papers, 402 citations, h-index 12, best-paper award.

How I Work

Every engagement starts with training. Depending on what your organisation needs next, it continues in one of two directions.

Step 1 — always

Training: your team learns to maximise AI, compliantly

I train your teams to get the most out of the AI tools they already have, starting with the standard chatbots available in your environment (Mistral Le Chat, Copilot, or similar). Every session is built around full GDPR compliance and the four obligations of the EU AI Act: literacy, transparency, human oversight, and traceability. By the end, your team does not just use AI; they use it responsibly, and you have documented proof of compliance with Article 4.

Step 2, option A

Fractional AI Officer: ongoing expert presence

For teams that need continuous, adaptive support after the training. I act as your fractional AI officer, available according to your pace and your needs, keeping your AI use current and compliant as your operations evolve and as the regulatory environment develops. No full-time hire needed.

Step 2, option B

Transition Management: direct leadership of the transformation

For teams that need someone to step in and lead the change end to end. I come in for a defined period, typically one to two months, take direct responsibility for the AI transition, build the first compliant pipelines with your team, and hand over a fully operational, AI Act-compliant setup. Two fee options: fixed price, or fixed costs plus a share of the savings I generate.

Let us scope it together

In Action

A customer complaint — one example from thousands across every industry. The same approach applies to contract queries, procurement checks, HR policy questions, research briefings, and any task where an answer must be accurate and traceable before it leaves the building.

✉ Incoming complaint
From: sophie.martin@clientco.com  ·  To: support@yourcompany.com

"Hello, I cancelled my subscription on March 14th and received a cancellation confirmation. Despite this, I was charged again on April 1st. I have been a customer for three years and I expect this to be refunded immediately. If this is not resolved today I will be leaving a public review."

How you get there
 10-hour course

Your team learns to produce this: accurate, traceable, compliant. Using the tools you already have.

 Fractional AI Officer

I keep guiding your team as cases grow more complex and the regulation evolves.

 Transition Management

I build the full pipeline with your team and hand over a working, compliant setup.

✓ Draft reply — ready for human review

"Dear Ms Martin, thank you for contacting us. We have located your cancellation request of March 14th and confirm it was processed correctly on that date. The charge of April 1st was applied in error and will be refunded in full within 5 business days. We sincerely apologise for this and value your loyalty as a long-standing customer."

  • Cancellation date verified against account record
  • Refund commitment verified against refund policy §4.2
  • Timeline (5 days) verified against processing SLA

Every claim in the draft is linked to a source your team can check before sending. That is what the EU AI Act requires. That is what the course teaches.

Built to Be Trusted

Generic AI sounds equally confident whether it is right or wrong. Wherever being wrong has a cost, that is the whole problem. This is the standard I build to.

Traceable, never a black box. Every conclusion can be checked against your own documents, in seconds.
Nothing invented. If an answer is not in your documents, you are told so, instead of being handed a confident guess.
Complete, not just fast. Built so the detail buried deep in a long document is not quietly missed.
You stay in control. Every output is reviewed and signed off by a lawyer before it is used.
Inside your walls. On-premise, on open-weight models, GDPR and the EU AI Act by design. Your documents never leave.
An answer you can sign your name to. Correct, complete, and transparent, or it shows you exactly where any doubt lives.
Proven in production: at a top-10 international law firm, a document review went from about 25 hours to about 4.
