Boards are under pressure to govern AI responsibly, but most directors still lack the knowledge to ask the right questions, let alone hold management accountable. Two leaders explain what it actually takes.
Dr. Chong Yoke Sin chairs Singapore’s SCS AI Ethics and Governance Council and sits on financial services, property, and healthcare boards. Heather Holding is Chief Risk Officer at Best Egg and hosts an AI adoption series called “AI With Heather.” They’ve approached AI governance from opposite ends of the org chart—and landed on the same answer.
In this episode:
- Why fiduciary responsibility now extends to AI (and what that means for directors who lack technical backgrounds)
- How continuous AI monitoring is disrupting the traditional three-lines-of-defense model
- The “organize my closet” onboarding method that got an entire risk team using AI regularly
- Why curiosity is the most important governance capability of the next 12 months
- What “clean data in” means for getting AI outputs you can trust
