AI expertise isn’t the same as AI oversight. Boards need both
TL;DR
83% of S&P 500 companies now flag AI as a risk, yet fewer than 3% of directors have AI expertise. Hiring experts is only half the fix. 83% of S&P 500 companies now flag AI as a risk, yet fewer than 3% of directors have AI expertise. Hiring experts is only half the fix.
Nauti's Take
Small teams should first map who actually controls AI decisions: Are data, model risks, approvals, and incidents assigned to clear owners, or does everything depend on one specialist? An external expert can fill knowledge gaps, yet durable oversight still requires a repeatable review process across management and the board.
