Constellation Research's Artificial Intelligence 150 (AI150) is an elite list of the top global executives leading AI transformation efforts across their organization and industry. With the boom of Generative AI, automation, and machine learning playing a pivotal role in accelerating digital transformation across all industries, these leaders embody the characteristics and knowledge needed to push the AI agenda further to drive organizational change.

The AI150 are the top pioneers, practitioners, and policy shapers who are inspiring others to accelerate AI transformation and address the key business and technology issues of this generation. Each leader listed on the AI150 demonstrates a comprehensive understanding of how the world is responding to artificial intelligence and how new technologies can be leveraged for future innovation. The selected executives enjoy substantive benefits and a private VIP invitation for membership to the Constellation Executive Network.

This is the session where we recognize the Class of 2025 AI.  Please congratulate them at this recognition ceremony.

Get inside the mind of how and what boardrooms are thinking about AI.  Learn how boards see budgets going forward as well as the strategic impact of AI on the business with one of the top board members in the world.

With artificial intelligence (AI) projects all the rage, organizations must make a strategic determination to create a new CxO role, at least at a functional level if not at a title level. This decision should not be made lightly, however. Although the chief AI officer (CAIO) role is critical to an organization’s success, the level of collaboration across business, IT, finance and operations, HR, and legal risk and compliance requires an unprecedented level of cooperation and orchestration. Boards will also want to consider AI at the same level as cybersecurity.

After speaking with two dozen CAIOs, Constellation expects the role to be different across organizations and ultimately infused into all aspects of the business by 2026. As the AI field accelerates, organizations that fail to create the CAIO role will be left behind.
