If you have these Gary, then apologies.

CAIO - (October 30, 2023, the Biden Administration released Executive Order (E.O.) 14110 on Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence - Requirement in Table 7 mandates the establishment of a CAIO (accross US agencies))

A senior executive responsible for coordinating their agency’s use of artificial intelligence (AI), promoting AI innovation in their agency, and managing risks from their agency’s use of AI.(from NIST SP800-50r1, 2024) 

and

An executive role within an organization focused on overseeing the development, strategy and implementation of AI technologies. (from IBM, https://www.ibm.com/think/topics/chief-ai-officer)

Failover - I'm pretty sure I will have missed this one. However, and from the usual sources - The capability to switch over automatically (typically without human intervention or warning) to a redundant or standby information system upon the failure or abnormal termination of the previously active system.(NIST Glossary)

Thanks again Nigel.  We're on a roll!

I've added CAIO ... although in my little head, that's "Ciao!", spoken with a flourish, smile and cheeky hand gesture.   

I'm toying with the idea of explaining the meaning of 'officer' ... and contrasting it with 'director' and 'executive' and 'senior management' ... but it's complicated because the terms vary and have legal implications that differ around the world.  And IANAL.

I'm also toying with the thought of systematically trawling the SP800 standards and other NIST docs for relevant terms - good stuff but a lot of work!  I've included several definitions already ... and an unknown number remain.  As with the ISO standards, different NIST standards sometimes refine and occasionally redefine terms for their specific contexts, which complicates matters for me: I would rather not list very similar definitions unless the differences are significant - and that determination is both subjective and context sensitive.     

So, for now, I'm just toying, like a cat with a moribund mouse.

Failover is already in there (page 285), now including the DRI glossary definition:

Kind regards/Ngā mihi,

CAIO or Chief Scapegoat- that person accountable when AI goes horribly wrong. 

Perhaps a secondary role given to CIO or CDO… who knows?

Something I have discovered is that cybersecurity is American English, whereas cyber security is British English…

Have a great day

Caio 

Nigel
