"I have worked on AI and LLMs since 2014 - way before they became the hottest thing on Earth. I'm an ex-Google AI exec who led the first scaled deployment of LLMs and Deep Neural Networks with Google Translate. I also worked as the Chief Product and Technology Officer at a computer vision AI startup, and as the VP of AI at Cisco."
"Let's ignore the title because you can call it different names, but I do believe successful AI implementation requires someone in leadership to drive that change, as well as commitment from the top. Functional business leaders, such as the CTO or CIO, may have little orno understanding of AI. If you want to integrate AI on a software level, you need someone with a different kind of expertise."
Barak Turovsky served as General Motors' first chief AI officer, recruiting AI talent and mapping organizational change while reporting through the software engineering chain until a subsequent restructuring. He previously held executive roles at Google and Cisco and led early scaled deployments of LLMs and deep neural networks at Google Translate. Turovsky emphasizes that successful AI integration requires dedicated leadership and top-level commitment because functional leaders like CTOs or CIOs often lack deep AI expertise. Large companies may seek AI benefits without owning responsibility, creating a need for a CAIO to coordinate technical, product, and organizational alignment.
