CISO roles are evolving due to AI's impact on cybersecurity, leading to increased complexity and burnout, despite higher status and pay. Reports show a shift from building security infrastructure to governance, emphasizing oversight and decision-making. Many CISOs work long hours managing AI systems that require human oversight.
