Book on AI Leadership for Corporate Boards

Originally published on Digoshen, November 2025

Artificial Intelligence is not just transforming technology—it is redefining leadership, governance, and value creation. In AI Leadership for Corporate Boards – Leading Responsible AI for Value Creation, co-authored by Professors Robin Teigland, Stanislav Shekshnia, and Liselotte Engstam, the book bridges research and boardroom practice, offering a pragmatic framework for responsible AI leadership.

Key insights from the publication include:
• The imperative of AI leadership — Boards must move from awareness to action, ensuring AI is integrated into strategy, not siloed in IT.
• The Boards 4AI Strategic Leadership Framework — A practical model to guide and supervise AI responsibly, aligning innovation with purpose and performance.
• From oversight to insight — Directors are called to deepen their understanding of AI’s dual impact—its risks and opportunities—and shape governance accordingly.
• Capability before compliance — Beyond regulation, the true differentiator is board competence: knowing which questions to ask, and when.
• A future of shared stewardship — AI leadership is collective. It requires boards and executives to co-create trust, accountability, and sustainable value.

The invitation is clear:
Lead with integrity, curiosity, and courage—and guide AI toward human-centered progress.
