The time has come to take back control of AI!

Enterprises can no longer afford to let AI strategy drift. Instead, its leaders need to regain control before innovation outpaces oversight. ROI is back under scrutiny (did it ever go away?!) and Boards are no longer accepting the infamous 5% success rate of AI initiatives (did they ever, really?). Not only do you need to find the metrics to justify your P&L, but you need to build a strategy that is structured for scale, aligns with a clear vision, redefines career paths and one that delivers trustworthy and secure opportunities with minimal risk.

The Chief AI Officer Exchange is not just another conference - it is a leadership platform that embraces Chatham House Rules and encourages open and honest converstions around the challenges of advancing, securing and enabling enterprise organizations through AI today. It also seeks to connect the leaders with game-changing solutions that can help advance and accelerate AI efforts and set them on the right path for long-term strategies in a quick-win world.

Episode 1: Why 2026 is the Year AI Leaders Must Step Up

Guest and upcoming Exchange Chair Miguel Navarro, Innovator, Patented Inventor and Digital Leader shares why 2026 will be a defining year for AI leaders. With agentic AI, vibe coding, and adversarial threats accelerating, the stakes have never been higher.

Miguel warns that AI isn’t just about productivity; it’s about security. Fraudsters have matured faster than most organizations, leveraging AI to supercharge scams and deepfakes. His advice? “You have to train for the Olympics years in advance, and it’s the same if you want to fight these new threats.”
