CTO News Thursday

Shaping the Future, One Question at a Time

CTO News Thursday, founded by John James Abadom, has become an essential voice for the global tech community. John is also the iconic host of the AI ON US x CTO News Thursday series, co-created with Marianne Mazaud, where he brings clarity, energy, and purpose to some of today's most critical conversations on Responsible AI.

A passionate advocate for ethical innovation, John has been a tremendous support for AI ON US since its very early days — following the project's journey, amplifying its message, and helping foster meaningful dialogue around AI risks, opportunities, and regulation. His commitment reflects one of AI ON US' deepest missions: educating and informing leaders and communities about emerging AI challenges.

Because while AI offers transformative power, it also introduces complex risks that are often hard to predict. The most responsible way forward isn’t just about finding the right answers — it’s about asking the right questions. Through his work with CTO News Thursday, John empowers executives, developers, and citizens alike to better understand AI’s limitations, risks, and societal impacts.

By making complex topics accessible, raising awareness, and encouraging proactive thinking, CTO News Thursday helps solve one of the biggest challenges of our time: building a future where technology serves humanity — not the other way around.

We are proud to count CTO News Thursday among AI ON US' trusted partners on this journey toward a more responsible AI future.
