The new chief AI officer will guide the integration of the technology across Cleveland Clinic, “ensuring AI innovations align with our vision and objectives,” according to a March job posting.
“Our ambition is to embrace and leverage AI to transform not just the Cleveland Clinic but the industry at large,” the health system wrote.
A handful of other health systems have named AI chiefs in recent months, including Mayo Clinic Arizona, UC San Diego Health and Atlanta-based Emory Healthcare. It’s a job a recent New York Times article dubbed the “hottest new role in corporate America.”
At Cleveland Clinic, the chief AI officer will work closely with other C-suite executives, as well as IT, data science and clinical leaders and build a team of AI specialists, data scientists and analysts. The health system is looking for someone with a master’s or PhD in computer science, AI, data science or a related field. The hourly pay ranges from $125.61 to $257.52, or about $261,000 to $537,000 annually.
