# Board Governance Enters the Age of Explainability

With regulators, activist investors and courts scrutinizing not just board decisions but the process and judgment behind them, this piece argues boards must be able to demonstrate the thinking and oversight behind their choices. It highlights how much board knowledge sits unused in meeting papers, minutes and PDFs, and how AI can make those records more accessible and explainable. For SEA CEOs and directors, it reframes board effectiveness as the ability to evidence sound decision-making, not just to reach good outcomes.
