AI governance roadmap for Boards

Although artificial intelligence (AI) is not new, the prevalence of AI and Generative AI in the enterprise makes board oversight vitally important. Particularly in a complex and ever-evolving environment, boards of directors need to be proactive to ensure the organisation’s strategy balances innovation and risk management. For boards of directors, the decisions made today will have a lasting impact on both the future of their organisations and society at large.

To navigate complexities and help ensure responsible AI deployment, it is important to establish a robust governance framework. Deloitte Global's new strategic AI Board Governance Roadmap is designed to help boards understand their role amidst a rapidly shifting AI landscape and provide them with guiding questions to support effective oversight of AI.

This roadmap covers six key areas, spanning strategy, risk, governance, performance, talent, culture and integrity.

Key questions for the Board to consider:

• Does management have a current “inventory” of how machine learning AI and Generative AI are being used in the company?
• Does management have a strategy for how they plan to utilise AI in strategic objectives and functional areas or in other ways?
• Does the board have the experience and expertise to advise on the strategy and then monitor progress of the implementation?
• Does the board have a clear vision on how the AI initiatives are overseen across the governance structure?
• Does the board understand the risks and opportunities associated with the AI strategy?
