AI Expert
Johnie T Young is an AI expert and governance practitioner with deep experience helping fast-moving technology companies implement responsible AI practices at small-team scale. With a focus on practical, actionable frameworks, Johnie built AI Policy Desk to close the gap between enterprise-grade compliance tooling and the real-world needs of lean product teams. Before founding AI Policy Desk, Johnie worked across a range of technology companies advising on AI risk management, GDPR readiness, and EU AI Act compliance. With the rapid emergence of AI regulation globally, Johnie identified a clear need: governance resources written for 10-person teams, not Fortune 500 legal departments — practical templates, checklists, and guides that teams can pick up and use today.
