The team focuses on establishing a consistent and reliable approach to using AI in production by providing shared foundations, guidance, and reusable solutions. This includes working with engineering teams to integrate AI into existing systems, ensuring solutions are scalable, maintainable, and aligned with security and regulatory requirements.
The scope ranges from improving internal workflows to enabling new product capabilities, depending on where AI can deliver measurable value.
