I think the chief AI officer, for the most part, needs really a heterogeneous set of skills. So I think on the one hand, obviously, it helps a lot to, you know, be knowledgeable in, in AI and know the technology. You don't, I don't think you have to be the, the topmost expert in that domain, like 10 years data science. Right. And, and, and, and then written tens of research papers like with Google, DeepMind and others. But I think it's in particular the combination of skills. Right. You need to understand the technology well enough in order to understand its implications and what that means, where the market is going, and combine that with the skills on how to identify the right scenarios, do a lot of stakeholder management, come up with the right architecture, find the right messaging and narrative from a marketing perspective.
