AI is not just a powerful technology delivering business value — it is a force that requires CIOs to look beyond deploying new tools and instead rethink how IT operates, delivers value, and prepares for the future. As AI’s influence grows, leaders must make deliberate choices about talent, processes, and technology to ensure their organizations are positioned for long‑term success. This session will outline the key decisions CIOs face as they navigate this shift. We’ll share what it takes to reinvent IT for the AI era, highlight emerging pitfalls, and offer a preview of approaches to help IT organizations plan and move forward.
