KPMG's Per Edin spoke with over 1,000 board directors about AI over the past three years. Five questions keep coming up.
1. How do we make sense of AI market trends, including agentic and physical AI?
2. How do we quantify, prioritize, and capture the value AI can actually bring?
3. How do we manage AI risks, especially cybersecurity?
4. How does AI change our corporate strategy and transformation program?
5. How does the board itself need to change in the AI era?
What's notable about that list: none of them are "should we use AI?" That question is settled. The board has moved to governance, strategy, and accountability.
The organizations that are stuck are the ones still trying to answer question zero. The ones moving fast have already moved past it and are working on the harder questions in that list.
Which question is your leadership team actually spending time on right now?
