# AI in the Boardroom: How Directors Are Actually Using It Today

Diligent Institute research finds 82% of US public company directors used generative AI for board work in the past six months, up from 66% nine months earlier, yet governance structures have not kept pace. Nearly half have heard of colleagues using consumer-facing AI tools for board work, raising confidentiality and fiduciary concerns. For boards, this underscores the urgent need to define where AI tools are appropriate and set clear usage policies.
