Clemens Hübschmann · External AI Officer for SMEs · TÜV-certified · Germany-based, working in German and English

AI governance that stands up to scrutiny.

I help companies use AI in a way that holds up when regulators, customers or auditors take a close look — training, audits and a governance framework, sized to your business, delivered in English or German.

Why now

The EU AI Act is already in force.

Since 2 February 2025, any company using AI — even everyday tools like ChatGPT or Copilot — counts as a "deployer" under the Act. Two obligations apply to almost everyone already: your people must be demonstrably AI-literate (Article 4), and prohibited AI practices (Article 5) must be off the table. Enforcement structures follow in 2026, and fines scale with revenue. Waiting doesn't shrink the work — it only removes the time to do it properly.

What I do

Three entry points

1

Training & start

AI literacy training under Article 4 — hands-on, using the AI platform your team will actually work with — plus the documentation that proves the obligation is met.

2

Audits & governance framework

Department-level audits to find where AI genuinely helps, then the full framework: AI policy, roles, approval process, risk classification, screening for prohibited practices, and audit-ready documentation.

3

External AI Officer

Ongoing support on a fixed monthly retainer: I track the legal situation (EU AI Act and its German implementation), keep your policy and registers current, run an annual AI compliance audit, and act as your fixed point of contact.

Also: ISO/IEC 42001 — from gap analysis to certification-readiness, building on your ISO 27001 structures where they exist.

Clemens Hübschmann, External AI Officer

No agency, no overhead — you work directly with me. For more than six years my work has revolved around one question: how does a company use AI without making itself vulnerable? You get the diligence that large, regulated organisations expect — sized to your business.
