Lars Husberg shares how boards can govern AI while shaping new opportunities and competitive advantage.

Lars Husberg, chairman of three companies and advisor on technology and business transformation, explores whether AI is primarily something boards need to govern—or an opportunity they need to understand and shape.He examines how AI is developing at very different speeds across industries, why boards risk focusing on incremental efficiencies while overlooking larger strategic opportunities, and how foresight, experimentation and continuous learning can help companies act despite uncertainty.The key takeaway: boards cannot govern AI strategically through risk and compliance alone. They must strengthen their own AI literacy, learn alongside management and owners, and create space for innovation, responsible experimentation and new forms of value creation.This conversation is part of the nine-part series Beyond the Old Playbook, featured in the Exploring Leaders Podcast by Digoshen. The series explores what leadership and governance require when established assumptions, practices and playbooks are no longer enough.Welcome to read the related blog post: From Governing AI to Shaping What Comes Next.
