In this episode, Mark Banicevich talks with Jon Davies about technology, artificial intelligence (AI) and governance. He asks how boards should be thinking about AI, and what directors need to ask (even if they are not technical). They discuss the human size of innovation, and potential impacts, and where lived experience can add the most value. They also discuss what traits future directors will need in this rapidly changing environment.
