Our story

Built by the people doing the work

CAIO Today is a peer community for Chief AI Officers, CIOs, CTOs, AI experts and senior AI executives navigating the most consequential technology shift of our time.

How we started

CAIO Today grew out of a series of informal conversations between AI executives who kept running into the same problem: the resources, frameworks, and peer networks that exist for CFOs, CMOs, and CIOs simply do not exist for the CAIO role.

What began as a small group sharing notes over coffee has grown into a global community of AI leaders across industries, geographies, and organisation sizes — all united by the same mandate to make AI work at scale.

What we stand for

Practitioner-first

Every conversation, resource, and event is designed by and for the people doing the work — not vendors, analysts, or observers.

Rigour over hype

We cut through the noise. Our discussions are grounded in evidence, experience, and honest assessment of what AI can and cannot do today.

Inclusive excellence

We welcome AI leaders from every industry, geography, and background. Diversity of perspective is what makes the community valuable.

Long-term thinking

We are building for the decade ahead — not the next quarter. Our focus is on sustainable, responsible AI transformation.

Generosity of knowledge

Members give as much as they take. The community thrives because everyone contributes their hard-won experience freely.

Our mission

AI is reshaping every organisation on the planet — and the executives leading that transformation have never had a dedicated space to think, share, and grow together.

CAIO Today exists to change that. We bring together the practitioners at the frontier: the Chief AI Officers, CIOs, CTOs, AI experts, VP AIs, and senior AI and transformation executives who are accountable for strategy, governance, talent, and outcomes across the enterprise.

This is not a vendor community. It is not a conference circuit. It is a working group of peers who trust each other enough to share what is actually happening inside their organisations.
