Essential Skills and Traits of
Chief AI Officers (CIO.com)
Wavestone Data and AI Executive Leadership Survey Webinar (May 16)
Thanks to reporter David Weldon for including us in his article for CIO.com yesterday on "Essential skills and traits of Chief AI Officers." We have partially excerpted quotes from this informative and well-researched article below.
"The rapid rise of artificial intelligence — especially generative AI — is prompting many organizations to hire or promote a chief AI officer (CAIO).
To date, many of these positions are with technology vendors or at government entities in the wake of recent AI mandates. But the ranks of the CAIO are expected to increase at enterprise organizations as well in the coming years.
Once hired, CAIOs are typically viewed as critical members of the C-suite. As such, they should have a proven track record of leading successful innovation programs and a clear understanding of how AI can transform the organization with ethics and governance in mind. They should lead the efforts to tie AI capabilities to data analytics and business process strategies and champion an AI-first mindset throughout the organization.
Along with that high-level understanding, a successful CAIO should possess technical expertise to pair with strategic vision and the ability to collaborate effectively across disciplines and teams, says David Mathison, CEO of the Chief AI Officer Summit, CDO Summit, and CDO Club.
That means having a deep understanding of various AI technologies, including machine learning, natural language processing, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and, where applicable, robotics, Mathison says. And they should have a proficiency in data science and analytics to effectively leverage data-driven insights and develop AI models. This includes skills in statistical analysis, data visualization, and predictive modeling.
Equally important, a CAIO should have knowledge of risk management principles and regulatory compliance requirements related to AI. That helps them ensure that AI initiatives adhere to legal and ethical standards.
Those skills touch on several technology, business, and communication areas, according to CDO Club’s Mathison, including:
