Empowering Executives to Lead AI at Scale
AI is transforming every aspect of business, but scaling it responsibly requires more than data and algorithms. It demands visionary leaders who understand not just what AI can do.
The Chief AI Officer Program is a premier executive education experience designed for senior leaders driving AI adoption and strategy. Developed with the generous support of Jim Hackett, the program is rooted in the principles of Human-Centered AI, ensuring that technology enhances human capability, aligns with core values, and supports long-term organizational
Why This Program Matters
While many organizations experiment with AI, few succeed in scaling it across the enterprise. Even fewer do so with clarity around governance, ethics, and trust. Common challenges include:
- Difficulty knowing where to start or how to move beyond isolated pilots
- Fragmented data and technology strategies
- Lack of alignment between business and technical teams
- Uncertainty around responsible AI practices, governance and explainability
These gaps especially in the era of Black Box AI can lead to risk, reputational harm, and lost opportunity.
