CAIO - Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer
CAIO - Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer
L'intelligenza artificiale ha superato la fase di sperimentazione e si è affermata come leva concreta di trasformazione del business. La vera sfida non è più se adottarla, ma come governarla: con quale modello organizzativo, quale struttura decisionale e quale impatto reale su valore, processi e competitività.È in questo contesto che si inserisce cAIo 2026 – Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer, l'evento in programma martedì 22 settembre presso l'nhow Milano, organizzato da iKN Italy, dedicato a esplorare come integrare l'AI nel business in modo strutturato, superando frammentazione, shadow AI e false promesse.L'evento affronta quattro dimensioni critiche: potere decisionale, sicurezza adattiva, scalabilità reale e valore strategico. Luca Chiodaroli, Partner Digital Innovation PwC Italia, parteciperà al cAIo Hub, portando al tavolo una riflessione centrale: le organizzazioni che governano efficacemente l'AI ottengono una performance finanziaria 7,2 volte superiore ai competitor. La differenza non sta quindi nella quantità di AI adottata, ma nella qualità della sua governance, nel saper orientare l'AI verso la crescita e in una sua integrazione trasversale nell'organizzazione. Parteciperà inoltre alla tavola rotonda "Cosa manca per passare dal tool a ecosistemi AI orchestrati?", un confronto dedicato ai temi centrali dell'AI strategy e dell'AI integration: perché il linguaggio dell'AI ancora non è comune nelle organizzazioni, quali criteri guidano le decisioni di investimento in un mercato instabile, e se l'AI stia realmente creando valore o generando duplicazione e complessità.Per il programma completo e per ulteriori informazioni cliccare qui.
