Abstract: For nine years, Randy Bean has organized a panel of Fortune 1000 Chief Data & Analytics Officers for CDOIQ. In honor of the 10th year of this CDO/CDAO session, CDO/CDAO panelists reflect on the evolution of the role from its risk and regulatory origins to its expansion into analytics and business growth, and what the future of the role will look like in an era of Generative AI and Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). How will the role change? Will the role still be needed in its present form? Who should manage AI? Will the CDO/CDAO be replaced by AI? Here are some recent articles authored and co-authored by Randy Bean.
