AI Risk and Responsible AI need a named bearer of risk - not an invented officer duty. Neither the AI Act nor Art. 4 requires an AI Governance Officer or CAIO.
Christian Pobbig and Beyond Chiefs work from Hamburg on AI Executive Search in DACH. Adjacent to the governance spoke - risk bearer here, not a certificate product.
False assumption: Compliance needs an AI Risk Officer by statute. Inventing appointment duty sells theatre. Architecture matters: who carries kill rights and escalation under conflict.
When the risk bearer is missing: the AI Executive Search mandate for the lasting bearer of the AI decision.
