Drawing on decades of boardroom and executive experience, Rick Hayes has worked with boards, audit committees and executive teams navigating technology transformation, risk management, governance and organisational change. He has seen firsthand how emerging technologies move from innovation projects to board-level responsibilities, and how governance often lags behind capability.
In Governing Intelligence: Boards, Hayes translates complex AI issues into the language directors already understand: accountability, oversight, delegated authority, risk appetite, assurance, investment discipline and organisational trust. Rather than asking boards to become technologists, he provides a practical framework for governing AI using the same principles that directors already apply to capital allocation, financial stewardship, regulatory compliance and enterprise risk.
The result is a guide written not from the perspective of software developers or AI researchers, but from the perspective of those responsible for governing organisations when the consequences of AI reach customers, employees, shareholders and regulators.
