Breaking into AI Governance- Advice Please
I’m trying to break into AI governance and would really appreciate honest advice from people who actually understand the field.
Here’s my background: I’m currently doing a Master’s in Business Analytics in Ireland, and I have a Bachelor’s in Business Administration. I’ve done five internships across product management, project management, and three roles in primary and secondary market research (not sure how valuable those are—I just took opportunities each summer as a student).
Right now, I’m working on my master’s dissertation, where I’m developing an AI governance framework. I’m reviewing existing frameworks and also studying the EU AI Act. I’m also planning to pursue the AIGP certification.
I’d really appreciate an honest assessment of where I stand and what I should be doing next. I don’t have anyone in my circle who understands this space, and honestly, every AI tool I ask tells me I’m “perfectly positioned,” which I just don’t believe. It feels like there’s no way I’m actually ready to break into an AI governance role yet.
Any real, grounded advice would mean a lot.
