A new role: industry context, paired with compliance expertise

Heart & Logic establishes the Risk Context Officer as a recognized role in AI governance — and builds the pipeline to fill it. We partner with workforce development programs to credential their graduates as RCOs and pair each one with a compliance subject-matter expert, delivering paid AI-compliance training to startups and developers.

In practice

The RCO program in action

Our first credentialed Risk Context Officer came from healthcare, not tech. She completed AI-literacy training through a workforce development partner — and built her own app in the process. Today, she delivers EU AI Act literacy training to AI startups and developers, alongside a compliance subject-matter expert who handles the regulatory detail.

Trained Workforce development partner
She took an AI-literacy course through a workforce development program — trained through a workforce development program and credentialed by Heart & Logic as an RCO.
Contextualized Industry experience, brought in
Her healthcare background became the context layer — how AI actually lands on people doing that work, not just how the model performs.
Paired and paid Delivered with a compliance SME
She now co-delivers paid EU AI Act literacy training to AI startups and developers, alongside a compliance SME who covers the regulatory heavy lifting.

We're building a consortium of workforce development programs to scale this — placing their graduates into paid roles, with a direct hand in shaping the HART Standard's workforce provisions as they evolve. Apply or learn more

The pipeline exists. Heart & Logic credentializes it.
