Introduction

In the fast-paced world of technology, generative AI (GenAI) is emerging as a game-changing force that boards of directors should engage with proactively. GenAI refers to a class of artificial intelligence (AI) models that can create new, original content—such as text, images, audio, or even software code—by learning patterns from large datasets. Unlike traditional AI, which often focuses on analyzing or predicting based on existing data, GenAI can generate entirely new outputs that resemble the data it was trained on. As stewards of corporate strategy and long-term value, board members play a key role in enabling their company to successfully navigate the challenges and recognize the opportunities that GenAI can present. This blog offers insights and practical guidance for directors on how to strategically scale their organizations with GenAI.
