What happened

OpenAI, Anthropic, and Cohere are expanding their recruitment of AI adoption specialists. These roles are designed to assist enterprise clients directly with integrating and utilising AI models. Specialists will develop AI adoption plans, identify implementation challenges, measure key performance indicators, train client staff, and embed AI into existing workflows. Some positions also require expertise in stakeholder relationship management, sales cycle navigation, and market insight development, with a focus on machine learning, data engineering, and AI governance.

Why it matters

The increased deployment of external AI adoption specialists directly integrating AI models into enterprise workflows introduces a new operational constraint. This creates a visibility gap regarding the precise mechanisms of AI integration and data flow, increasing exposure for IT security and compliance teams to unmonitored AI deployments. It raises due diligence requirements for procurement and platform operators to validate external expertise and ensure adherence to internal AI governance frameworks, potentially weakening existing controls over data ingress and egress points.
