Summary
AI is moving fast, but many companies still have not decided who should own the job of turning that momentum into measurable business value. Valentine pointed to a recent Harvard Business Review article by the founders of the Return on AI Institute, citing survey findings that underscore this opening. Valentine, a tenured associate professor of management science and engineering at Stanford’s School of Engineering, told the room of finance chiefs that CFOs have a strategic opening to lead on AI if they are willing to quantify the value and be accountable for it. That example reinforced a broader point in Valentine’s remarks: the requirements for safe, production-grade AI are fundamentally different from those for everyday employee experimentation.
