Australian businesses are several years behind some of their international peers in adopting AI and machine learning (ML). AI and ML use probability to "win games". Sounds simple, but these advanced mathematical concepts are not taught in traditional IT qualifications. The greatest challenge is organisational culture. Staff are often aware of the damage suffered by organisations that have rushed into AI and ML without appropriate safeguards.
This requires an executive with knowledge of the mathematical underpinnings of AI, and the skills to responsibly address valid concerns from ICT departments and the rest of the business.
A Chief AI Officer (CAIO) drives responsible adoption of AI and machine learning initiatives. They collaborate with colleagues, customers, suppliers and the CEO to ensure that these initiatives create tangible value and align with business strategy.
For comparison: A recent US market survey revealed that the total salary package for Chief AI Officers ranged from $1.1 million to $2.6 million per year.
But we offer six options that are much better value:
Your expert CAIO will work remotely and make quarterly updates to an AI innovation pipeline, risk register, governance framework, training and board reports!
Quarterly rates are based on the numbers of AI initiatives, systems, stakeholder relationships and reports overseen by your virtual Chief AI Officer.
The range of services performed may be similar to a Virtual CFO.
The following weekly subscriptions are available:
These arrangements are also available for interim/ temporary CFO assignments.
Point us to any aspect of your business and we will compare current state with the capabilities required to achieve your business goals. We will identify gaps and provide a prioritised roadmap of opportunities to bridge them with a combination of AI and traditional solutions.
You can then choose whether or not to engage us to implement any initiatives on the roadmap.

Lucia Business Partners acknowledges the Jagera and Turrbal peoples who lived for thousands of years on the Brisbane River lands where we collaborate, learn and serve our clients. In 1823, the Turrbal people looked after three British castaways who landed on the ocean shore of what is now the city of Redcliffe. The castaways were guided 20km to the Brisbane River along ancient walking tracks — tracks that today are followed by many of Brisbane's arterial roads. Lucia Business Partners believes that the most successful businesses never stop learning from the wisdom of others. We strive to demonstrate this in our interactions with everyone we meet.
