What Boards Are Saying About AI and Governance
Recent data underscores the importance of this conversation:
66% of board members report limited to no familiarity with AI, though that’s improving from 79% last year (Harvard Law School).
31% of boards still don’t include AI on meeting agendas, despite rising urgency among executives and regulators.
Governance experts caution that while AI can support minute creation, human oversight remains critical to accuracy and compliance (Chartered Governance Institute & AICD).
These findings confirm what we see daily: curiosity is growing, but community banks need tailored, trusted paths forward.
With hundreds of U.S. banks already using OnBoard, our mission is to support leaders like you in navigating the next era of governance—securely and strategically.
