Corporate boards accelerate efforts to oversee artificial intelligence risks and adoption

More than 60% of company board members now say that managing AI is one of their biggest concerns for 2025. A recent Deloitte survey found that 43% of business leaders want to expand AI use across their companies in the next year. By 2024, around 78% of organisations were already using AI in at least one area of their work. However, only 21% of boards have checked where AI is actually being used inside their own organisations. Some large US pension funds have said they will vote against directors at companies that do not manage AI risks properly. To respond to this pressure, some boards have created special committees to oversee technology and data security.
