# The board has a critical role in building trust in tech era

World Economic Forum (Jan/Apr 2024) "The board has a critical role in building trust in tech era" argues every business is now a data and technology business, with corporate boards charting their future against innovations in generative AI, blockchain and the "bio revolution." Investors are relying more than ever on boards to provide strong oversight and governance in this tech and data-driven backdrop, and ensuring data security, integrity, privacy and location are newer oversight obligations for boards. The piece frames board trust-building as inseparable from board competence on digital and data risk. Direct relevance for SEA mid-market boards whose IT-risk oversight is often delegated to audit committee chairs without supporting expertise.
