AI In Business: The One Thing Every Board Member Asks

That's the rule--of thumb, so to speak--for corporate boards. Board members already have a long list of mission-critical issues in their sights, including risk and reputation management, advising and encouraging the CEO, financial performance, and growth opportunities. Naturally, nobody expects them to get involved in the nitty-gritty of technical operations as well. That is what I usually hear when I encourage board members to put AI on the agenda. But while the question remains the same, the reasons behind board members' bemusement varies--and that speaks volumes about misconceptions over what is coming down the proverbial pipe.
