AI and the Boardroom in 2025

AI is changing work and society beyond what we might have imagined - as recently as 5 years ago.

What does this mean for for Boards for directors and for governance itself?

Currently in Australia and elsewhere a Director must be a human. A Director cannot be AI. (This raises the issue of ‘proof of human’ but that’s the topic of another post.)

The key aspect of being a human is the capacity to develop and maintain relationships. Board professionals need to form functional and nuanced relationships with other complex human beings and this requires social and emotional competence. Artificial Intelligence does not do this - yet.

How will AI change the Board and its members? How quickly will that happen?

Are you ready for the change?
