# AI Is Reshaping Cyber Risk. Boards Need to Manage the Threat.

Harvard Business Review (Apr 7, 2026), drawing on Harvard Business School research featuring senior lecturer Hise O. Gibson, frames AI cyber risk as a leadership test for boards rather than a technical IT problem. The piece urges boards to assume compromise, build AI fluency beyond IT, tie AI initiatives to operational resilience, and strengthen cross-functional governance. For SEA mid-market boards racing to adopt AI without proportionate security spending, the article reframes director accountability for cyber as inseparable from AI strategy oversight.
