Questions

Who is the handbook for?

Leaders of businesses with 50 or more staff who need AI under control without hiring a full-time Chief AI Officer: CEOs, COOs, finance directors, heads of risk and operations, and the advisers who support them.

What is the difference between the editions?

The method and templates are the same in all three. The UK edition covers UK GDPR, ICO guidance, UK sector regulators and the EU AI Act for UK exporters. The GCC edition covers Saudi Arabia's PDPL and SDAIA rules, the UAE's data protection law and AI charter, and the DIFC and ADGM free zones. The Global edition is built on international standards (ISO/IEC 42001, NIST and the OECD principles), the EU AI Act and US rules, and shows you how to apply it under your own country's law.

We are not in the UK or the GCC. Which edition should we buy?

The Global edition. It works anywhere, and shows you which local rules to check.

Is the GCC edition available in Arabic?

Yes. The GCC edition comes in English and Arabic, including the templates. Choose your language when you join the waitlist.

How does the launch offer work?

Join the UK or GCC waitlist before 31 December 2026 at 23:59 UK time and your price is $49 instead of $79. You pay nothing today. You will hear first when it launches.

Do I have to pay now?

No. Joining the waitlist is free. You only pay when the handbook launches, and you can change your mind.

Is it legal advice?

No. It is a practical guide written by an operator. It points you to the rules that apply and how to work with them, and tells you when to bring in a lawyer.

Rather have it done for you?

As your fractional Chief AI Officer, I set it all up and report to your board.
