GIW FED Innovation 2026: CAIO Panel: The Strategy - What Chief AI Officers Are Doing to Drive Adoption and Impact
Chief AI Officers are a brand-new role in Australian government, and the people holding them are quietly rewriting how the public sector adopts AI — from governance guardrails to frontline pilots. In this panel, three CAIOs share what's actually working: how they're embedding responsible AI cultures, turning strategy into scaled deployment, and building the workforce confidence needed for AI-enabled government. Moderated by Monita Lal, Head of AI Delivery and Enablement at Finance.
