As a board member or managing director, you are increasingly making decisions that AI has helped prepare. You still carry the responsibility – not the model.

As a board member or managing director, you are increasingly making decisions that AI has helped prepare. You still carry the responsibility – not the model.

A recent survey of German executives shows just how unresolved that responsibility sometimes remains: while some see it as the company’s responsibility, others the AI provider’s and others both, 55% say AI is being introduced in their company faster than it can be governed effectively.

This is exactly where a dangerous grey area emerges:

‘The AI suggested it.’ ‘I made the decision.’

Responsibility lies in between.

The better AI gets at preparing decisions, the more important it becomes to ask where the recommendation ends and the human decision begins.

For me, governance here does not mean more oversight committees.

It means clearly establishing three things before an AI-assisted decision:

Who has the authority to decide?

Who must be able to challenge it?

Who bears the consequences?

Not after something has gone wrong. Before the decision is made.
