Sound familiar?
How many new tools did your team start using this year?
ChatGPT for the first draft. AI to summarise a contract. A new invoicing system. Something a colleague found because it saves time. Each one enters the business in a minute. The questions come later.
- 01What did we just send to that system?
- 02Where is the data stored, and were we allowed to put it there?
- 03On what basis did the AI give that answer?
- 04Who has access to the document?
- 05What must we be able to prove if someone asks tomorrow?
None of these should stop a good tool. They need someone whose job it is to answer them.

Your officer

Your officer
Reinforcement for your team. Not a replacement for it.
Most companies don't need another consultant who writes a report and leaves. They need someone who understands both the law and the tools, sits next to the team, and takes the paperwork off their desk so the work can move.
That is what AI Arena does. Katarina holds the legal side. Marino runs implementation and operations, so what we recommend is what we set up. We build with AI every day, and everything we deliver is made and checked by people.

FAQ
Questions we get on the first call.
We already have a data protection officer. Why an AI officer?
A DPO looks after personal data. An AI officer looks after how your company uses AI: which tools, on what basis, with what documentation, and what the AI Act requires of each. The two roles work together, and we align everything we do with your privacy set-up.
Is this legal advice?
The licence covers governance, tool implementation, training and monitoring. Where a matter needs formal legal advice or representation, it is handled by qualified counsel under a separate engagement, and we tell you before that line is crossed.
We're a US or UK company selling into the EU. Does this apply to us?
Usually, yes. The AI Act applies when your AI system is placed on the EU market or its output is used in the EU, wherever you are based. Non-EU providers of high-risk AI must also appoint an EU representative. The Partner licence includes that mandate, so your buyers and regulators have one European contact.
Can we start small?
Yes. Start with the free 30-minute AI check. If your list is short and clean, we'll say so. If not, Essential covers the basics and you can move up as the work grows.
Who actually does the work?
We do. Katarina on the legal side, Marino on implementation, both using AI tools we have verified ourselves. Everything you receive is made and checked by people.
