 Carnegie Mellon is grooming the next generation of data and AI leaders

📈 The role of the Chief Data Officer (CDO) has changed dramatically in recent years from a technical function to a key strategic business asset. Today, these leaders are expected not just to implement AI, but to grow, innovate, ethically and change the culture of organizations.

👨‍🏫 CMU's program combines academic rigor with practical experience:

  • Lead faculty are current CDOs, CAIOs, and CIOs of major corporations including IBM, Walgreens, Thermo Fisher, and others.
  • Topics include generative AI, data ethics, regulation, change management, and strategic transformation.
  • The latest set has 102 attendees ranging from corporations to government agencies.

💬 "Future leaders need to understand not only technology, but also human behavior, business and global challenges," say organizers. Today, data and AI are not just supporting business, but its core.
