Leadership in AI 2021: boards, barriers and new beginnings

Board Agenda and Mazars, in association with INSEAD, published a report examining the adoption and perceived benefits of AI, as well as the constraints and AI’s potential impact on corporate culture. It is clear that despite considerable interest in AI and an expectation that over two-thirds of organisations will implement some level of AI in the next 12 months, many organisations and boards lack the knowledge and skills to make this happen. The challenge for boards is to gain knowledge and understanding to drive AI automation in areas where they can get the most bang for their buck and actively transform their organisations into dynamic, data-centric businesses fit for the challenges that lie ahead.
