You have AI ambition. You may have an AI strategy. Whose job is it to make it real? That someone is the Chief AI Officer. The role sits at the intersection of strategy, data, technology, people, governance, and process. It is one of the most consequential executive jobs in any organisation today, and one of the least well-defined. In AI: Capability Delivered, The Chief AI Officer, Stephen Redmond sets out what the CAIO actually does. This is a follow-on from AI: Curious to Capable, but it is not a sequel. You don't need to have read the first book. Inside the book Defining the mandate, decision rights, and reporting structure when the job description doesn't tell the whole story Diagnosing organisational entrenchment, the calcified structures and incentives that quietly block AI adoption The Six-Pillar Framework applied through the lens of an active CAIO Distinguishing Blue money (productivity gains) from Green money (financial value the board can see) Practical EU AI Act compliance The first hundred days, structured into five phases Proving value to the board and CEO Sustaining momentum past the first year, where most programmes lose confidence The fractional CAIO model, for organisations not ready for a full-time hire You will follow Aoife, the newly appointed CAIO of ACME Corp, through the political, technical, and human challenges that define the role. ACME is fictional, but the situations are not. Who this book is for The leader stepping into a CAIO role The CEO or board considering whether to create one The senior practitioner offering AI leadership on a fractional basis Anyone responsible for delivering measurable business value from AI
