Artificial intelligence (AI) is a critical governance issue and must be firmly grasped by the board—not left to the tech team, says a report from the Institute of Business Ethics.

Artificial intelligence is causing a revolution in business, but how should boards respond to the implications of technologies they don’t understand? The answer is to take an ethical approach and ensure human accountability.

Regardless of where a threat to cybersecurity comes from, board members need to be clear on how their organisation’s data and infrastructure mechanisms are being protected.

Knowledge and skills in the boardroom must evolve with the risks and opportunities presented by technology—as well as its associated data—if companies are to remain competitive.

Boards must step up technology and innovation knowledge to govern their business, while the CFO must develop their role in IT risk management, says accounting body ACCA.

Cybercrime is in the headlines and companies are under increasing pressure to help law enforcement. Andrew Burnyeat looks at the developments putting data management and protection on the boardroom agenda.

Cyber-security and data breaches have been making headlines following high-profile incidents at TalkTalk and Vodafone, but cyber-attacks can jeopardise the security of any company.

Corporations are at risk of bankruptcy from disruptive technologies, says Oracle spokesperson.
