The 6 things companies actually pay AI governance consultants for right now
Comfortable_Gene5180 · reddit · 2026-09-27
An AI governance practitioner lists the six services companies actually pay consultants for, in demand order:
- AI/agent inventories: most large companies lack a full list of AI systems and agents across teams, their owners, and the data they touch
- AI policies: internal rules on tools, data, and approval processes
- Custom governance frameworks: decision ownership, committees, deployment gates—highly company-specific
- AI risk/impact assessments: finding failure modes before they become headlines
- EU AI Act readiness: many companies still don't know if or how it applies to them
- ISO/IEC 42001 readiness/implementation: building toward an AI management system standard
The author advises aspiring consultants to pick from this list based on interest rather than chasing trending certifications.
