The understanding of and expectations for the CDAO role and team have yet to reach standardization across industries and amongst organizations.

The panelists discuss: 

• What are some common beliefs that fellow C-Suite members hold about the role and responsibilities of the CDAO team? How should the current mindset change and mature in the future?

• Which role is best positioned to own AI in large organizations? How does a CDAO complement or take on the leadership position for proper AI use and implementation? 

• Keeping in mind that the average tenure for a CDAO is often cited as less than 3 years, who are key success partners for CDAOs to reverse this trend? What does an ideal internal and external support system look like for future CDAOs?
