Should your business have a Chief AI Officer?

As artificial intelligence reshapes the way we work, a new C-suite role is gaining attention: the Chief AI Officer (CAIO). But is this position a strategic necessity, or just another corporate fad?

Watch the full conversation between Chris and Martin Colyer, Director of Digital and AI at LACE:

In this conversation, we examine:

  • Why some organisations are creating a Chief AI Officer role now

  • How it compares to past positions like the Chief Digital Officer

  • The impact AI leadership has beyond just technology — on strategy, people, and operations

  • Whether this role is here to stay, or destined to disappear as AI becomes business as usual

From tackling legacy systems to preparing for seismic change, we explore the evolving responsibilities, skills, and organisational value of the CAIO.
