Fortune\u2019s<\/em> inaugural AIQ Summit on Thursday, Hari Gopalkrishnan, chief technology and information officer at Bank of America, and Sally Moore, chief client officer and co-head of market intelligence at S&P Global, described AI adoption as a discipline rooted in governance, data, and accuracy\u2014not a race to attach the technology to every workflow. The discussion followed Fortune and ServiceNow\u2019s release this week of the Fortune AIQ 75, an annual ranking of Fortune 500 companies generating measurable impact from AI.<\/p>\nAt Bank of America, Gopalkrishnan said the company evaluates AI implementations across 16 risk dimensions, including privacy, bias, workforce implications and intellectual property. The starting point, he said, is not the model: \u201cStart with the client need. Does AI actually answer the problem?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the biggest mistakes we see is rushing to AI as a solution when deterministic models can do the job just as well,\u201d Gopalkrishnan said. The most expensive mistake may not be moving too slowly. It may be funding a sophisticated AI solution where simpler technology would yield a more reliable, lower-risk return.<\/p>\n
When AI is warranted, he said, governance must be continuous: establishing guardrails, evaluating results and monitoring systems for unintended consequences. A fraud model that disadvantages certain demographic groups, or a chatbot that does not adequately serve customers with particular accents, creates customer, compliance and reputational risks\u2014not merely a technology problem.<\/p>\n
For S&P Global, the foundation is data. Moore said the company\u2019s work with a major global bank demonstrates the operational value of combining proprietary intelligence, subject-matter expertise and implementation support. S&P Global helped the bank reduce its time to market by roughly sixfold and improve accuracy in work drawing on multiple data sets from about 60% to 98%, she said. <\/p>\n
But accuracy alone is not enough. \u201cYou need to be able to ensure that you can source the original IP that\u2019s informing some of those decisions,\u201d Moore said. In high-stakes applications, the ability to trace an AI-generated output back to the underlying data and intellectual property is essential.<\/p>\n
Have a good weekend. <\/p>\n

More notable moves this week:<\/b><\/p>\n
John Vandemore<\/b> was appointed EVP and CFO of Levi Strauss & Co. (NYSE: LEVI), effective Nov. 1. Vandemore succeeds Harmit Singh, who announced plans to retire in April and will remain chief financial and growth officer until Vandemore joins. Singh will then serve as a special advisor through Nov. 30 to support the transition. Vandemore joins Levi\u2019s from Skechers U.S.A., where he spent the past nine years as CFO, overseeing the global finance organization as well as operations functions. Earlier, Vandemore was EVP and CFO of global brands and commercial sales at Mattel, CFO and treasurer of International Game Technology, and held finance and operating leadership roles at The Walt Disney Company, including CFO of Walt Disney Imagineering.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jennifer Hays<\/b> was appointed CFO of Gunnison Copper Corp., effective Oct. 12, the mining company known for its flagship Gunnison Copper Project and Johnson Camp Mine in Arizona announced. She succeeds Fabio Rocha, who has served as interim CFO and will be promoted to senior director of accounting and reporting. Hays brings roughly 20 years of finance experience across the U.S. defense industrial base and government contracting. She most recently served as CFO of PacSci EMC, a defense and space company within Ralliant Corp. Before that, Hays spent about 17 years at Intel Corp. in senior finance roles.<\/p>\n
Trent Ziegler<\/b> was appointed CFO-designate of Cars.com, effective Oct. 19, and will formally succeed Sonia Jain as CFO on Nov. 6. Jain will remain an executive advisor through March 31, 2027, to support the transition. Ziegler joins Cars.com from fintech holding company FairSquare, where he was CFO. Before that, he spent more than a decade at online lending marketplace LendingTree, including three years as CFO and seven years leading investor relations and treasury. He began his career at Ally Financial.<\/p>\n
Kathy Cherian<\/b> was appointed CFO of David\u2019s Bridal. Most recently, Cherian was CFO of Magnolia, where she oversaw finance across its retail, e-commerce, media, hospitality and consumer-products businesses. She previously spent more than a decade at Nike, including as CFO of Nike Canada and in global business-planning roles.<\/p>\n
Rachita Sundar<\/b> was appointed CFO of Zendesk. Sundar succeeds Julie Swinney, who has transitioned to chief administrative officer and executive sponsor of Zendesk\u2019s Employee Service business. Sundar brings more than 20 years of finance and business-operations experience from technology companies including Microsoft Azure, HubSpot, and Qualtrics.<\/p>\n
Ivica Maric<\/b> will succeed Yves M\u00fcller as CFO and chief operating officer of Hugo Boss AG. M\u00fcller is leaving the managing board for personal reasons, stepping down at his own request effective Oct. 1. He has served as CFO since December 2017 and added the COO title in May 2022, during which time he helped lead the company’s CLAIM 5 growth strategy. Maric, a Hugo Boss veteran since 2005, most recently served as executive vice president of business operations and will assume both roles upon M\u00fcller’s departure.<\/p>\nBig Deal<\/h3>\n
A Bain & Company report estimates that AI could shift $4.7 trillion in global corporate profits from 2025 through 2035, more than triple the impact the firm attributes to the internet in roughly half the time. But Bain\u2019s core argument is that the opportunity is not primarily about cost cutting. It estimates that about 75% of the projected profit shift will stem from innovation and competitive redistribution rather than productivity gains alone.<\/p>\n
The report groups industries into four categories, ranging from companies supplying AI\u2019s foundation, such as chips, cloud computing and data center infrastructure, to sectors where AI could reshape competitive dynamics or replace established delivery models. Bain\u2019s message is that incumbents with proprietary data, customer relationships and a willingness to redesign workflows could be well positioned to capture value. Companies that treat AI as only a technology project, however, risk enabling competitors to seize the advantage instead.<\/p>\n
