CIOs are being lumped with AI responsibilities - and many of them aren't happy with that

• AI adoption is up, and CIOs are heading up most of that, Salesforce finds
• CIOs work closely with C-suite colleagues, but not so much with security
• Despite the challenges, CIOs seem to be ok with the fact their roles are changing

With full AI implementation rising steadily, Chief Information Officers are finding themselves being lumped with AI responsibilities more and more, new research has found.

The shift from experimentation to large-scale deployment hasn’t exactly been an ‘on-off’ moment like a light switch, with companies struggling to delivery ROIs and find ideal use cases, so processes have failed to keep up.

For example, many studies have already shown security processes to be lacking compared with the real state of AI deployment – and findings from Salesforce now says job roles have been slow to adapt, too.
