We discuss the importance of tone from the top, lifecycle oversight, strengthening cybersecurity, and how boards can embed principles like fairness and accountability into daily practice—not just policy documents.Listen now as we explore privacy considerations, bias in AI systems, human‑in‑the‑loop safeguards, third‑party oversight, and why AI policies should be living, breathing documents.And stick around to the end for Dominique and Andrea’s excellent advice for mission‑driven boards for creating AI policy.Further resources on AI governance for mission boardsYou can find the toolkits mentioned on the podcast along with other useful resources at www.diligent.com/leadingwithpurpose.
