As mentioned in a previous post, we are now tracking new hires for the “Chief AI Officer” (CAIO) title at major organizations globally.
In the month of September alone, we found at least NINE new CAIOs and have added them to this month’s JOBS Update.
Thanks to Forbes contributor and longtime industry analyst Joe McKendrick for including a quote from me at the top of his article today on “The Case For Chief AI Officer: A Role Whose Time Has Come?“
In his article, Joe notes that “The CAIO role provides a single central point of responsibility for AI initiatives, which tend to be scattered at this time.”
So, welcome back to our updated Chief AI Officer & CDO/CDAO JOBS Updates, through September 2023.
In this issue, we list SIXTEEN new CAIO/CDAO appointments for September; we tracked THIRTY SIX CDO/CAO ARTICLES; and hand-picked TWENTY FOUR CDOs/CAOs who made the news in September; and we posted more new open global CAIO/CDAO positions on our CDO Career page!

Great respect to Inderpal Bhandari and David Mathison and so many others for creating this wonderful holding environment for fresh thinking and perspective. Kudos for all of the effort it took to make this happen! Anthony Scriffignano "Great IBM CDO/CTO Summit in Boston! Inspiring discussions on AI, data fabric, ethics and privacy.
