Top 7 Skills of Successful Chief AI Officers, and Why You Can’t Trust Half of the CAIOs on LinkedIn Join the CDAO/CAIO Summits, Tue-Wed Oct 1-2!
Happy Thursday!
Today I thought I would shake up our email cadence by sending this in the evening instead of the morning. Always good to do a little A/B testing!
I also wanted to share a few interesting articles we were quoted in this month:
Do You Need to Hire a Chief AI Officer? (Sept 9 Tanium podcast): "David Mathison, an expert in the fast-growing field of chief AI officers, talks about the responsibilities of the role, the hierarchy in the C-suite, and why you can’t trust half of the chief AI officers listed on LinkedIn. President Biden’s executive order mandating that every federal agency hire a chief AI officer highlights the growing need for this “new kid” in the C-suite. But does every company really need one? What are the demands of the role, and how do you hire (or afford) one? David Mathison, who’s been tracking chief AI officers, says the government’s action will accelerate hires in the private sector – and keep the U.S. at the forefront of an increasingly competitive market for this kind of talent.
The Rise of the CAIO (Sept 6 Communications of the ACM article by Esther Schein): "Companies increasingly are hiring chief AI officers to wrangle with the nascent technology. David Mathison, CEO of the CAIO Summit, estimated there were about 1,000 CAIOs in place as of June. One of the pain points is that CEOs and chief HR officers are confused about the role’s responsibilities, Mathison said."
Top 7 Skills and Traits of Successful Chief AI Officers (Aug 28 IDC article by Dave Weldon): "I had the opportunity recently to speak with the man behind the CAIO Summit, David Mathison. We discussed the ideal background for an individual targeted for the CAIO role, the technology and business skills they should bring to the table, and the personal traits that add to a candidate’s likelihood of success."
Want to learn more about this new role, and meet/network with current Chief AI Officers?
