The Rise of the Chief AI Officer
Briefly

President Joe Biden's executive order on artificial intelligence aims to establish a chief artificial intelligence officer (CAIO) in federal agencies, ensuring focused management of AI innovation and risk.
The CAIO role can be interpreted differently across agencies – some agencies opting for a dual-hat approach where existing roles such as chief data or technology officer also serve, while others create a dedicated CAIO position.
Interviews with specific federal CAIOs highlight the diverse strategies being employed to shape AI leadership within government, indicating a tailored approach to agency needs and innovation priorities.
The formalization of the CAIO role through Biden's directive underscores the critical importance of coordinated AI oversight as federal agencies navigate advancements and associated risks in technology.
