Martin Lipton's memo warns that AI systems and autonomous agents are expanding corporate cyber risk, and that boards should check whether existing reporting-and-escalation structures adequately capture AI-related threats.

The guidance pushes boards to pressure-test their oversight assumptions before an incident forces the issue.
