Board Recruitment in the Age of AI

Board Agenda reports that nomination committees increasingly require boards to develop collective AI governance capability rather than relying on a single specialist director, with the first governance question boards should ask being: who is accountable for AI within the organisation? The article argues that AI governance accountability must be clearly defined before problems emerge, as diffused responsibility across legal, technology, risk, and compliance creates dangerous ambiguity. For SEA mid-market CEOs preparing board refreshes, this is a direct call to embed AI accountability into board composition and committee charters as part of the governance operating model.
