Governance of AI: A critical imperative for today's boards

Deloitte Global (Jul 15, 2024) "Governance of AI: A critical imperative for today's boards" reports on the Deloitte Global Boardroom Program's June 2024 survey of nearly 500 board members and C-suite executives across 57 countries. Headline data: nearly a third of respondents (31%) say AI is not on the board agenda, down from 45% in the previous survey, signalling acceleration; yet almost a third (31%) still say their organisations are not ready to deploy AI. The article positions board AI oversight as inseparable from strategy and risk management given the prevalence of generative AI in the enterprise. Useful trend reference for SEA mid-market boards calibrating AI oversight against global peers.
