I’m pretty sure that just about every CIO has heard about artificial  intelligence (AI) by now. 

This technology is starting to revolutionize a  lot of the ways that we live our lives. AI is showing up in our cell  phones and helps us to remember to do things, shows us places that we’d  probably like to go based on places that we’ve been in the past, and can  even recommend people that we might like to be friends with. At the  same time AI is working its way into our homes via devices such as  Amazon’s Echo products. 

What the person with the CIO job needs to  realize is that their company needs to be involved with AI right now or  else they stand the very real chance that their competition is going to  end up passing them by.
