In an area where White & Case has been leading discussions, the Financial Times reports on new AI tools in company boardrooms that are helping 'chairs, directors and company secretaries at a number of organisations manage and analyse board papers, prepare for and minute regular meetings, all within a secure system'. It says these tools are 'unlikely to be granted a vote' and some directors remain cautious, asking if it’s possible to delegate the duty of loyalty and care. White & Case partner Patrick Sarch said: "No doubt a machine can set out matters to be considered and make a recommendation – but directors with fiduciary duties cannot outsource them to other humans let alone computers." Look out, or contact us, for further guidance on the latest opportunities and risks with AI in the boardroom.
