Companies with strong digital and AI capabilities are outperforming peers by two to six times in Total Shareholder Return. The gap is widening as leaders compound their advantages, making it increasingly difficult for others to keep pace. Without proper governance, directors expose their organizations to costly failures.

An essential guide to the twelve foundational AI techniques with real-world commercial applications that board members need to understand. Insight into why most companies are not AI-ready due to immature data governance, along with actionable strategies to close this critical gap. A comprehensive AI governance framework that addresses AI-specific risks, which often fall outside the scope of traditional ERM frameworks. Real-world use cases to inspire how AI can drive innovation and competitive advantage, showcasing the art of the possible for your organization.

This is a must-read for directors, C-suite executives, and governance leaders committed to unlocking AI's potential. Lead your organization with confidence, leveraging AI for growth while ensuring a solid governance foundation.

Tom takes a pragmatic, no-nonsense approach to explaining in detail the various capabilities and associated risks while providing practical governance guidance for boards and leadership. This is an easy-to-use reference guide for all of us wading through the massive changes and responsibilities.--Suzanne Keenan, Board Chair-elect, The North American Electric Reliability Corporation, Retired CIO, Wawa Inc., Director, Univest Financial Corporation Tom's urgent call-to-action on AI governance at the board level is a message that must be heard. This book provides a compelling case for boards and executive leadership to come to grips with the fact that they need to become educated on the foundational concepts of AI and the associated risks with key architectural approaches. As AI becomes ubiquitous and normalized in virtually all business sectors, no organization is exempt from this new reality.
