In times of change, great possibilities often come with great pressures.
Nowhere is this truer than in the office of the CIO with the progression of Al and machine learning (ML). IT will be closest to these technologies at almost every stage-from selection to deployment and assessment-which makes them the best people to gauge whether the organization is ready for Al and ML. It also makes IT the natural architects of business changes that promise to completely alter the world of work.
IT leaders’ pressure extends beyond the technology itself. We now understand clearly that the office of the CIO has-like it or not-evolved into a cultural change agent of the organization. CIOS must prepare the organizational culture for broad-scale advances, all while making sure those advances work and deliver value as advertised.
Fortunately, they don’t have to do it alone.
