An AI enablement lead makes sure people across a company use AI tools well and safely. They run training, set up a network of AI champions, write simple how-to guides and usage rules, help teams find good uses for tools such as Microsoft Copilot or ChatGPT Enterprise, and track whether usage and confidence are going up. Most of the work is with people, and there is little or no coding.
