Original title: Head of AI Security Roles Surge in Large Organizations
IANS and Artico Search say only 18% made it dedicated, while CISOs rarely own AI governance at large firms.
Research by IANS and Artico Search, published October 20, says 65% of organizations with more than $10 billion in annual revenue have a head of AI security role. Eighteen percent made it a dedicated job and 47% combined it with another leadership role. The same role exists at 9% of firms with $1–$10 billion revenue and 6% of firms under $1 billion. CISOs hold primary AI-governance accountability in 7% of large organizations, versus 22% for chief AI officers, and 14–19% of firms across tiers name no single accountable executive.
- 43–48% of firms across three revenue tiers have no AI ethics board committee planned.
- In $10bn+ firms, 8–15 years of experience is tied to about $35,000 more pay.
- The gap versus more than 16 years of experience is about $50,000.
- Average deputy CISO pay in large businesses was $350,000; BISOs averaged $342,000.
- CISO average compensation was not included in the report.
