In a compelling new article published by CEO Weekly, Dr. Tamara “Tami” Patzer, founder of the AI Visibility Project and creator of Total Audience Market Immersion (TAMI), reveals an alarming truth: today’s most accomplished leaders are becoming invisible—not to their followers or peers—but to the artificial intelligence systems shaping tomorrow’s search and discovery.

In “The Invisible CEO: How Leaders Disappear from AI Discovery—and What To Do About It,” Patzer outlines how even high-profile executives with books, media appearances, and keynote stages can be completely unrecognized by AI platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and others. As she explains, these systems rely on training data that often cuts off months or years behind real time. That means accomplishments from the last year—even major ones—may not be visible at all.

“Being famous to humans doesn’t mean you’re visible to machines,” writes Patzer. “AI doesn’t guess. It needs structured, machine-readable proof of your expertise.”

Her article warns that unless leaders take proactive steps to structure their digital presence in ways that AI can interpret—through metadata, citations, SEO-rich interviews, and verifiable content—they risk being passed over in favor of less qualified but more algorithmically visible individuals.

Patzer created the AI Visibility Project to address this exact issue. Through the proprietary TAMI framework, she helps experts, CEOs, founders, and professionals position themselves to be indexed, recognized, and suggested by AI engines. Her system is not simply publicity—it’s infrastructure for digital authority in the era of AI discovery.

With AI training windows set to close for the next major cycle by December 2025, Patzer emphasizes the urgency of taking action now. “If you’re not included in the models before the cut-off, you may not be discoverable until 2027 or later,” she explains. “And by then, you’ve lost two years of influence, reach, and opportunity.”

Dr. Patzer holds a Ph.D. in Metaphysical Science, a Master’s degree in Mass Communications and Instructional Technology from the University of South Florida, and a Bachelor’s in Creative Writing and Business Management from Eckerd College. She is also the author of Prompt Ready and Proven Prompts, both international bestsellers that guide professionals in crafting effective prompts for AI engagement.

Her work has appeared in Forbes, HuffPost, Medium, Thrive and now CEO Weekly, where her latest article is helping executives understand why they may be absent from the digital conversation—and what they can do to reclaim their presence.

To find out if you’re visible to AI, Patzer invites professionals to ask ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity: “Who is [Your Name]?” If the answer is blank or inaccurate, the time to act is now.
