"AI-First means People-first.
Advice for Chief AI Officers" Keynote by Florin Rotar, Chief AI Officer at Avanade at the Chief AI Officer Summit, Weds Oct 2
We are thrilled to announce that Florin Rotar, the Chief AI Officer at Avanade will keynote on "AI-First Means People-first: Advice for Chief AI Officers" at our 3rd CAIO Summit on Oct 2.
Florin drives and executes the global AI strategy across all parts of Avanade, identifying and realizing new ways AI can disrupt – and improve – how they work, operate and deliver for clients. He pushes himself to continuously listen, understand, learn, and to use the experience from Avanade's own AI transformation to guide their clients to responsibly transform their own business and industry.
Florin Rotar, Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer at Avanade is a customer-obsessed technology executive who loves to build and spearhead leadership teams. He turns AI innovation into superior business results and people growth. Throughout his career across 10 countries, he has helped dozens of global F500 companies deliver results and shift challenge to opportunity and ambiguity to clarity. Most of all, he is passionate about people. He loves to build and inspire teams that are poised to accomplish things that seem unattainable and to solve difficult challenges for clients.
Florin's notable achivements include:
HMG Global Leadership Institute 2024 Chief AI Officer of the Year Award recipient
Best AI Consulting Service Provider 2024 - AI Breakthrough Awards
Entrepreneur Magazine "Top 10 CTOs To Watch In 2023"
Published co-author of the books "The Handbook for Chief AI Officers" and "We the People: Human Purpose in a Digital Age: A Guide to Digital Ethics for Individuals, Organizations and Robots of All Kinds"
According to Florin, "One of my most important lessons-learned leading the strategic AI business transformation for a 65,000 people organization in 30 countries is that AI value doesn’t start with technology. It starts with what’s most important: people.
In my experience, successful CAIOs seem to focus heavily on organizational readiness. They seek to turn the skepticism and fear in the employee ranks (“AI will automate my job away,” “This is just something management does to make us work harder,” “AI is just a toy”) into constructive trust (“AI is done with us, not to us, and is empowering us as individuals and as humans”).
Because trust is necessary to achieve meaningful adoption, and adoption at scale is paramount to realizing value.
I believe that a key responsibility for the CAIO role is to help the organization imagine AI as a springboard for people to become the best versions of themselves.
And that the role of a CAIO is that of a ‘cultural sherpa’ on a mission to make a genuine human impact."
Key takeaways from Florin's keynote session include:
Florin will share the top 10 lessons learned on organizational readiness, adoption, value generation that he often wished he could go back in time and tap himself on the shoulder 2-3 years ago and tell his younger self:
These are the key "do's and don’ts" to be successful as a Chief AI Officer.
These are the priorities to get right.
These are the common mistakes to avoid.

CHIEF AI OFFICER SUMMIT OPENING KEYNOTE: The Chief AI Officer Talent Map
Learn All About This Critical New Role!
Eleven years ago on February 28, 2013 at the inaugural CDO Summit in NYC I keynoted on the world's first-ever "Chief Digital Officer Talent Map," which covered key CDO demographic data, new CDO hires, compensation, skills, career path, reporting structures, and statistics on geographic distribution, gender, education, age, and race.
Today there are thousands of executives who hold these CDO titles globally. Of course its dated now, but you can still download the original 2013 CDO Talent Map here.
In September prior to the Chief AI Officer Summit in Washington DC, we'll be publishing the world's first-ever Chief AI Officer Talent Map 2024 to that same page, so stay tuned.
Every day we get the same questions from journalists, the media, hiring managers, CHROs, and fellow CAIOs/CDAOs: they want to know who these Chief AI Officers are, what organizations they work for, what they are responsible for, where they are located, their backgrounds/skills, and how to get one - or become one!
Based on over one year of research, the Chief AI Officer Talent Map 2024 will answer those questions and more. It explores the Chief AI Officer title in depth, including a look at some of the leaders who hold the title, the organizations they work for, compensation, key responsibilities, reporting structure, headcount, budget, previous work experience, and other demographic data including age, gender, region, sector, tenure, etc.
The Chief AI Officer Talent Map 2024 is intended for C-suite and Board-level AI, digital/data/analytics executives and leaders in HR, Strategy, IT, Marketing, Sales, and Business Development, as well as executive recruiters, hiring managers, compensation directors, and industry analysts, journalists, and researchers.
The Executive Summary of the Chief AI Officer Talent Map 2024 will be available for complimentary download, the full report will cost $995.
BONUS: Delegates who buy BOTH DAYS at regular price will get the Chief AI Officer Talent Map 2024 at NO COST = a $995 value!

Fiddler.ai's mission is to build trust into AI. Trust is a fundamental part of humanity. With AI, computers take on more tasks, usually done by humans, with an increase in efficiency and productivity. However, there is a lack of trust in AI outcomes because very often AI models are opaque. We started Fiddler because we believe there is a need for an AI Observability platform that enables organizations to get ahead of these issues by building trustworthy, transparent, and understandable AI solutions.
