H2: FAQ

Do board directors need hands-on AI practice?

A small amount helps directors understand the technology, but the main need is governance judgement and better oversight questions.

What is the biggest board risk?

Treating AI as an IT tool only. AI changes work, decisions, risk, capability, and competitive position.

How often should boards revisit AI?

At least quarterly while adoption is changing quickly, and whenever major tools or high-risk use cases are introduced.
