Cybersecurity threats accompany AI development: “Demand for board governance and oversight of AI and cybersecurity strategy and risk management will grow. Although AI has been around for years, commercial availability of generative AI has created explosive opportunities as it is integrated throughout business areas. Along with AI’s rapid advancement, cybersecurity threats and attacks have increased. Boards need to stay informed of the developing regulatory landscape in ethical guidelines and guardrails for AI, as well as disclosure requirements for cyber risk, significant incidents and ransomware payments. This is essential for companies operating in certain critical infrastructure sectors, including transportation, communication, financial services, health care and information technology.”
