Artificial intelligence (AI) is a powerful new technology that the person with the CIO job is going  to have to learn how to harness because of the importance of information  technology. 

We need to realize that the impact of introducing AI  powered applications into our business will not just impact the IT  department, but rather will impact the entire company.  

What this is going to mean is that the person in the CIO position is  going to have to prepare the rest of the company for the changes that  will be coming their way.
