It has been said that this new wave of exponential technologies will threaten a lot of jobs, both blue and white-collar ones. But if from one hand many roles will disappear, from the other hand in the very short-term we are observing new people coming out from the crowd to lead this revolution and set the pace. These are the people who really understand both the technicalities of the problems as well as have a clear view of the business implications of the new technologies and can easily plan how to embed those new capabilities in enterprise contexts. Hence, I am going to briefly present three of them, i.e., the Chief Data Officer (CDO), the Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer (CAIO) and the Chief Robotics Officer (CRO). Sad to be said, I never heard about a'Chief of Data Science', but for some strange reasons, the role is usually called either'Head of Data Science' or'Chief Analytics Officer' (as if data scientist won't deserve someone at C-level to lead their efforts).

Just weeks after unveiling a robotic officer, Dubai police have announced its latest gadget - tiny self-driving patrol cars which can scan for criminals. The vehicles, due to hit the streets by the end of the year, will be fitted with special biometric software that can identify wanted suspects. They are about the size of a remote-controlled car, and will patrol the city scanning all the while with a 360-degree camera.

And if simple ground surveillance is not enough, the devices can even launch a drone, reports Gulf News.
