Agentic AI no longer waits to be told what to do. It acts on behalf of the firm. It moves money, touches customers, and makes commitments. And when it does, the consequences land on the business, whether or not anyone planned for them. Most organizations have built the capability without ever naming the person accountable for it. That gap is now a board-level risk. The Chief AI Officer makes the case for a named, accountable executive role and lays out exactly how to build it.
In eight focused chapters and three working appendices, Saad Muhayyodin Maan moves past the hype to the operating reality: the operating model, the control architecture, the governance regime, and the practical templates a leader needs to put agentic AI to work without losing control of it. You will learn how to:  .  Define the CAIO mandate and where the role sits against the CIO, CFO, and board  .  Stand up an operating model that keeps autonomous systems accountable  .  Map controls and governance to the risks agentic AI actually creates  .  Evaluate large AI and transformation engagements before you signWritten for Chief Information Officers, Chief Financial Officers, private equity operating partners, portfolio CFOs, and the graduate seminars training the next generation of leaders.
If agentic AI is already running inside your organization, this is the book that names who owns it.
