Head of AI — Role Specification
The Head of AI role specification defines a single seat that owns AI value delivery and AI risk as one undivided outcome, rather than splitting them across a committee. It sets the organizational fit test for when the role is warranted, five specific authorities the seat holds (decision intake, risk classification, unilateral stop authority, evidence custody, and reporting-line independence), and the accountabilities that follow from them. Built with HR input for boards and executive teams defining the role for the first time.
