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, an expert in the fast-growing field of CAIOs, talks about the responsibilities of the position, the hierarchy in the C-suite, and why you can’t trust half of the CAIOs listed on LinkedIn.
