It's time for a new C-Suite position: Chief AI Officer ZDNet

AI is spreading to the enterprise at a phenomenal rate. According to a global survey of 260 large organizations conducted by market research firm Vanson Bourne on behalf of Teradata, a data and analytics company, 80 percent of enterprises are investing in AI and one in three "believe their company will need to invest more over the next 36 months to keep pace with competitors." Let's get this out of the way: What is AI? In general, enterprise AI includes things like machine and deep learning, voice recognition and response, Robotic Process Automation (RPA), automated communications and reporting, predictive analytics, and recommendation engines. If you're a purist, you'll recognize that a more accurate description for most of these technologies would be software automation.
