One of the most interesting GenAI conversation in Oct 2024 that I’ve heard in a long time came from Me, Myself and AI podcast: Never Too Much of AI with Andrew Rabinovich. As the Vice president and Head of AI and Machine Learning at Upwork, he has a fantastic journey and shared superb upcoming use cases for the future of work and collaboration with AI agents augmenting freelancers.

Some key considerations for boards came through Havard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance: AI Governance Appears on Corporate Radar. Insightful Key Takeaways:

• Only about 15% of companies in the S&P 500 provide some disclosure in proxy statements about board oversight of AI.
• Disclosure of board oversight of AI and directors’ AI expertise is primarily found in the information technology sector, with 38% of companies providing some level of board oversight disclosure.
• 13% of S&P 500 companies have at least one director with AI-related expertise.
• As AI becomes a material factor for many companies, investors may start to demand that companies not only disclose relevant board skills and oversight responsibilities but also enhance disclosure on AI.
