Description of this prediction from the article:
Artificial intelligence has shot to the top of the priority list for Fortune 500 companies this year, with boards and management teams across industries scrambling to figure out what this powerful new technology means for their businesses.

One tactic that we expect to become more common among large enterprises next year: appointing a “Chief AI Officer” to spearhead the organization’s AI initiatives.

We saw a similar trend play out during the rise of cloud computing a decade ago, with many organizations hiring “Chief Cloud Officers” to help them navigate the strategic implications of the cloud.

This trend will gain further momentum in the corporate world given a parallel trend already underway in government. President Biden’s recent executive order on AI requires every federal government agency to appoint a Chief AI Officer, meaning that over 400 new Chief AI Officers will be hired across the U.S. government in the coming months.

Naming a Chief AI Officer will become a popular way for companies to signal externally that they are serious about AI. Whether these roles will prove valuable over the long term is a different question. (How many Chief Cloud Officers are still around today?)
