Do you need a chief artificial intelligence officer?

In the future, depending on the company size and business type, many organizations will need to consider adding the role of chief artificial intelligence officer. While a full-time dedicated position might seem to be excessive now, the role of a senior leader who is deeply knowledgeable in the broad domain of artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming critical. The chief AI officer is tasked with providing strategic and tactical guidance and support for exploring AI methodologies. This role would also serve as the evangelist for the process, people and tools that can help achieve real business results with AI or human intelligence augmentation. Since artificial intelligence, and with it machine learning, is a broad and cross-cutting capability, this individual can focus across the landscape, and research and dig deep into the possible advantages and opportunities to aid business objectives.
