It\u2019s not a surprise that every new cyber product we come across has something to do with machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI). The subject AI is of interest to everyone and many organizations are likely to buy or have already bought AI products without understanding the larger implications of adopting AI. AI within the organization\u2019s need to be governed by policies, procedures as well as other consideration such as ethics, accountability, and transparency. In addition, companies should understand that using AI in Human Resources will not cause issues with unfair bias and unjust impacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Gartner defines AI as \u201cadvanced analysis and logic-based techniques, including machine learning, to interpret events, support and automate decisions, and take actions.\u201d The definition of ML from Stanford is \u201cit&nbsp;is the science of getting computers to act without being explicitly programmed.\u201d Simply put, ML is a sub-field of AI that includes techniques that enable machines to improve at tasks with experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">For convenience in the article below we will refer systems employing AI, ML and Algorithms collectively as \u201cAI.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>Briefly the advantages of AI includes:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">Reduces <\/span><\/strong>human workloads<\/li><li><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">Increases <\/span><\/strong>precision in tasks<\/li><li><span class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\"><strong>Processes<\/strong> <\/span>large amounts of data in short time spans&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li><span class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\"><strong>Improves<\/strong> <\/span>the quality of lives<\/li><li><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">Complements<\/span><span class=\"has-inline-color has-very-light-gray-color\">\/<\/span><span class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">enhance<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\"> <\/span>human cognitive capabilities<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">The following are few examples on how AI can be applied <strong>Security and Compliance<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Identifies <strong>actionable insights<\/strong> from data using Data Analytics<\/li><li>Identifies <strong>impending failures<\/strong> and threats before they may occur<\/li><li><strong>Flags suboptim<\/strong>al operational and maintenance workflows<\/li><li><strong>Automates<\/strong> repetitive security &amp; compliance tasks<\/li><li><strong>Enhances<\/strong> human analysis<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Artificial intelligence in corporate governance can offer companies next-level problem solving, market predictions, and risk management procedures far more advanced than legacy practices. A good place for organizations to start is by strategizing AI Governance and Policies in order to provide a clear direction to the user community on Do\u2019s and Don\u2019ts of using AI in the organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">AI Governance Challenges:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li><strong>Can the AI system be designed and operated to reflect human values such as fairness, accountability, and transparency?<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Can we ensure the safety and certification of AI technology so that the use of AI is not harmful?<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>What are the privacy implications when AI is powered by the data and it is able to make its own decisions?<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>What are the implications for jobs by adopting AI?<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">The Board of Directors should find answers to the following questions related to opportunities in AI and associated risks.
