Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been described as a Promethean Moment. What is meant by this is that it is one of the times in humankind’s history when everything changes due to a new tool being discovered.

The Board of Directors, as the ultimate governing body of the organization, must be focused on this now. Here are four ways to begin:

This does not necessarily mean full-blown technical expertise in the boardroom – although this can help in certain circumstances. Instead, it means that everyone on your board should have a firm grasp of what AI is, the different types of AI, and a sense of what AI is changing in your particular industry or amongst your clients and suppliers.
