How C-Suite and Board Roles Are Being Reshaped Around AI

Harvard Business Review's Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic argues that AI is not just transforming entry-level roles but is fundamentally redrawing the responsibilities of C-suite and board positions, requiring directors to evolve their oversight mandate well beyond traditional fiduciary duties. Senior leadership and board roles are being redefined as profoundly as any other position in the organisation, with new competency demands around AI fluency, agentic oversight, and strategic judgment under algorithmic pressure. For SEA mid-market boards, this signals an urgent need to reconsider what director value-add looks like in an AI-augmented governance environment.
