Technology Tangents | Who owns your AI strategy? The need to get AI governance & C-suite ownership right

Credera is excited to announce the release of a new Technology Tangents podcast episode: "Who owns your AI strategy? The need to get AI governance & C-suite ownership right."

On this episode 

"Who should own AI in my organization?" It's a question our AI leaders are getting asked a lot, as organizations sort through how to structure and scale AI adoption within their organizations.

As with any change initiative, there are core fundamentals around how a business is run that shouldn't change with AI adoption (the CIO/CTO is responsible for technology tools, the Chief Data Officer is responsible for reporting and analytics, the CFO is responsible for operating efficiencies, etc).

At the same time, AI is a more pervasive and impactful technology than we've seen in the past 20 years. AI is not just another tech issue; it will deeply impact all parts of how an organization can be run and needs to be adopted quickly. It's a Blockbuster moment for organizations – adopt, or you likely won't be around in the future.

With this in mind, Vincent Yates, Jason Goth, and Kevin Erickson, three senior leaders at Credera, discuss who should own AI in organizations to ensure quick, innovative, and safe adoption.

(Spoiler alert–it's the CEO.)

Technology Tangents

In Technology Tangents, Credera's Global Chief Technology Officer and Global Chief Data Officer bring leaders together to discuss the modern technologies of today and how organizations should navigate the implications for tomorrow.

The discussions are fun, light-hearted, and frankly opinionated, but hopefully it gives technology leaders a sense of what matters, what to pay attention to, and what to ignore.

This podcast is available on iTunes, Spotify, and Anchor FM.
