While the CAIO may not be necessary in every company, particularly those in the early stages of AI adoption, their role becomes increasingly vital as AI adoption matures. We outline the key responsibilities and benefits of a CAIO, including driving AI strategy, managing AI initiatives, ensuring ethical AI development, and bridging the talent gap in AI expertise.
