AI that holds up under audit

In a regulated company, AI belongs inside the production system, held to the same discipline as any validated process. The companies that run AI well already operate under FDA, EU MDR, GDPR, NIS2, and the EU AI Act. The ones that struggle keep it as a pilot, off to the side of how the business actually runs.

We take this position publicly. Our submission to the UN Global Dialogue on AI Governance (22 April 2026) and the Letters to Leadership series set out the view we build every engagement on.

Most boards now carry AI governance as a responsibility without the senior AI leadership to run it. Felaris provides fractional CAIO services across the US and Europe, and interim CAIO coverage in the Caribbean. The role covers strategy, governance framework design, vendor evaluation, and the regulatory questions, delivered to the same standard regardless of location.

The data foundation an AI program needs is the same one an ERP system produces. The validation discipline AI requires mirrors Computer System Validation, and the governance sits with the same board-level technology committee already in place. Felaris AI is the AI business services arm of the operator team, so the same people running ERP and compliance work stand behind its fractional CAIO services and its training.

The Academy is organized as a track of courses, each aimed at a different stage of readiness. AI Essentials introduces AI tools to a broad workforce encountering them for the first time. AI Fluency helps teams move from casual use into deliberate, role-specific practice. AI Foundations adds the technical grounding needed for a certification outcome. AI Practitioner builds on that fluency through weeks of guided practice. The AI Governance Workshop moves a board or leadership team from awareness to a working governance framework. Each course appears in the catalogue below with its own length, audience, and starting point.

AI models fail in production when the data, process, and governance work underneath them was never done. Felaris addresses this with use case prioritization, data architecture review, process redesign, and change management planning, drawing on twenty-five years of ERP and compliance experience. The result is groundwork the business can act on immediately.
