### AI overview

The CIOs highlighted here connect technology leadership to business and public outcomes, emphasizing that AI adoption depends on governance, workforce readiness, validated processes, and measurable value. Examples include Denver's multilingual Sunny chatbot; Fletcher Previn's focus on leadership, learning time, and incentives that support adoption; and Kellie Romack's account of ServiceNow internal AI use cases growing from 15 to more than 200. Mike Blandina stresses human review of AI outputs, data lineage, permissions, and productivity measures. Sears Merritt describes capping AI vendor contracts at 12 months and defining pilot metrics before scaling, while Kimberly Basile says counting agents obscured results and that automating an unvalidated process was a mistake. Other featured leaders stress responsible AI in regulated insurance, linking technology investment to business value, and oversight as AI agents enter enterprise software. The source is an excerpt and ends during its list of ten CIOs.

One initiative I found particularly interesting was Denver's use of AI through its multilingual Sunny chatbot and other city services.

I especially enjoy hearing her perspective in longer-form conversations where she talks candidly about the realities of leading technology and transformation in a large, complex organization.
