Artificial Intelligence has gone from being an IT topic to a pillar of corporate strategy. As such, its oversight is a direct responsibility of the Board of Directors. The most effective solution is to create a AI and Technology Committee.
1. The Committee's Charter
The committee's purpose should focus on strategic issues: aligning AI initiatives with long-term goals, overseeing the management of AI-related risks (ethical, security, etc.), and ensuring that technology investments are generating the expected value. Dom Cabral Foundation offers excellent insights into governance modernization.
2. Composition of the Committee
The committee should be multidisciplinary, including directors with backgrounds in technology, finance, risk, and strategy. It's essential to have a C-suite member (such as the CTO or CDO) participate as a guest to bridge the gap between the board and operations.
3. KPIs to Monitor
The committee shouldn't monitor the performance of the algorithms, but rather the impact of AI on the business. KPIs should reflect this: Value KPIs (ROI of projects, new revenues), Risk KPIs (security incidents, bias audits) and Capacity KPIs (team maturity level).
Structuring a dedicated committee is the first step toward mature AI governance. DG5 Intelligence assists corporations in creating these governance models.
