Host: TK Kerstetter
Guest: Dr. Anastassia Lauterbach, Board Member with Dun & Bradstreet
The tricky thing about artificial intelligence (AI) is that, while everyone is familiar with the term, few people understand what AI entails. Today’s companies are using AI in a wide range of applications – from detecting cyber threats to automating production management work to suggesting “similar products” based on a consumer’s purchase history. For these reasons, today’s boards must be knowledgeable of the opportunities and risks surrounding AI – but to what extent?
In this episode, Dr. Anastassia Lauterbach, board member with Dun & Bradstreet and an expert in AI and cybersecurity, joins TK Kerstetter to educate corporate directors on the basics of AI. Currently authoring a book on the topic, Lauterbach has interviewed 60 board members globally about AI in business, and she shares major themes from her research. She also outlines a roadmap for how today’s boards can approach conversations around AI.
"[Companies and boards need to] start with their data," said Lauterbach. "AI is about data, and every company has to have a data value strategy. What are my most important assets? Can my data help me be more competitive? [Do I have the] infrastructure to provide data and data insights for my business? Only then, [should you consider] what kind of AI technology to implement."
Of the 10 Most Valuable Companies in the Fortune 500, five are already what Lauterbach refers to as full-stack AI companies: Apple, Alphabet/Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Facebook. Beyond these digital world leaders, however, she emphasizes the wide-reaching financial impact of AI as the technology will soon affect all industries and impact the economy as a whole.
Since Lauterbach also serves on the Next Gen Board Leaders Advisory Council, Kerstetter took the opportunity to ask her whether Europe is seeing a similar demand for younger board members.
