AI governance guide
What Questions Should Boards Ask About AI?
A practical list of AI questions boards should ask about strategy, risk, data, vendors, governance, compliance and performance.
Guide
Practical board-level starting point.
Boards should begin with the business question: where is AI already changing customers, costs, competitors, operations and risk? That keeps the conversation practical rather than abstract.
Directors should ask management for a current AI use-case inventory, the owner of each material use case, the data involved, the expected benefit and the controls in place.
Useful board questions cover vendor contracts, human oversight, data exposure, cybersecurity, staff usage, customer impact, incident reporting and measurable performance improvement.
