Gartner, Wednesday, June 26th, 2024
More Than 50% of Organizations Have an AI Leader, but 88% Indicate Their AI Leader Does Not Have the Title of Chief AI Officer
A recent Gartner, Inc. poll of more than 1,800 executive leaders, revealed that 55% of organizations have an AI board. The poll also indicated 54% of organizations have a head of AI or an AI leader that orchestrates activities.
'The findings show that organizations are divided regarding if an AI board is necessary,' said Frances Karamouzis, Distinguished VP Analyst Gartner. 'The answer is yes, enterprises need an AI board to transcend the multidisciplinary challenges to drive value and reduce risk. However, the duration, scope, and resourcing is context-specific and use-case dependent. For some, it's a short-term, stopgap measure. For others, it's a longer-term change to their operating model.
The poll included 1,808 respondents who participated in a Gartner webinar in June 2024 discussing how executive leaders can assess the cost, risk and value of AI and GenAI initiatives. Results of this poll do not represent global findings or the market as a whole.
