The poll also indicated 54% of organisations have a head of AI or an AI leader that orchestrates activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe findings show that organisations are divided regarding if an AI board is necessary,\u201d said\u00a0Frances Karamouzis, Distinguished VP Analyst, Gartner. \u201cThe answer is yes, enterprises need an AI board to transcend the multidisciplinary challenges to drive value and reduce risk. However, the duration, scope and resourcing is context-specific and\u00a0use-case\u00a0dependent. For some, it\u2019s a short-term, stopgap measure. For others, it\u2019s a longer-term change to their operating model.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The poll included 1,808 respondents who participated in a\u00a0Gartner webinar\u00a0in June 2024 discussing how executive leaders can assess the cost, risk and value of AI and GenAI initiatives. Results of this poll do not represent global findings or the market as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AI boards must have clearly defined rules that map back to business remits<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Accountability for AI is spread out. Additionally, some organisations are decentralised, siloed or unclear as to where AI initiatives should lie. When asked who is accountable for AI initiatives, only a quarter of respondents aligned to a clear role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Accountability for AI delivery<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dmscdn.vuelio.co.uk\/publicitem\/d24fbd6e-043b-44f4-b1e3-3e1423e394c5\" alt=\"\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: Gartner (June 2024)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAI board member composition should have representation from multiple disciplines and cross business units,\u201d said Karamouzis. \u201cIt\u2019s up to each organisation to determine the\u00a0best approach\u00a0to drive speed and agility within their organisation to ensure that the board does not get unwieldy and unproductive due to inability to meet or drive consensus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;When asked to identify the top three focuses of the board remit, 26% of executives identified governance and another 21% indicated strategy should be one of the primary focuses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe board member composition should align expertise with the scope of the remit,\u201d said Karamouzis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBoard members should be senior level and seasoned executives with strong skills in strategy and execution, especially if they have GenAI ambitions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AI leaders are more prevalent among organisations than CAIOs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of the 54% of executive leaders who indicated their organisation had a head of AI, or an AI leader, 88% said that their AI leader did not have the title of chief AI officer (CAIO).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>C-suite leaders take direction from their board of directors, and most boards do not want to expand the C-suite. Despite this, boards do want an AI leader who is responsible for AI orchestration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAI and\u00a0GenAI\u00a0are complex and far-reaching and touch every job, activity and strategic conversation in the organisation,\u201d said Karamouzis. \u201cHowever, this does not mean that the people or team responsible for orchestrating AI at an organisation have to have a title at the altitude of the C-suite.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additional insights are available in the complimentary Gartner webinar\u00a0&#8216;AI and GenAI Practical Demands: Quantifying Cost, Risk and ROI.&#8217;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent Gartner poll of more than 1,800 executive leaders, revealed that 55% of organisations have an AI board.
