Today, I read a fascinating article entitled AI and the Role of the Board of Directors by Holly J. Gregory Partner at Sidley Austin LLP
In it, Ms. Gregory says...
"AI has the capacity to disrupt entire industries, with implications for corporate strategy and risk, stakeholder relationships, and compliance that require the attention of the board of directors."
At Diligent, we could not agree more. Hence why we have developed a valuable certification course for Directors and CxOs.
