As technology spending accelerates in the business world, artificial intelligence (AI) leadership is critical to building successful AI programs and implementing them in organizations across all industries.

In fact, the size of the global AI market is estimated to be $432.8 billion in 2022, according to IDC. But this rapid growth has left blank space for strong leadership in AI. Companies are wondering how to organize the management of AI teams, where AI teams fit into the overall business structure, and who should be in the AI ​​leadership role.

Although AI departments and programs have mushroomed across all industries over the past decade, AI remains a relatively new field that companies are still trying to understand and integrate into their activities and their operations. To continue pushing the field forward and avoid stagnation, many need to take a new approach to AI leadership to maximize their program's potential.
