AI fluency for executives goes beyond simply understanding what AI can or cannot do. It encompasses the ability to ask the right questions, assess how AI creates value for your organisation, make informed decisions, and confidently guide the organisation through inherent ambiguity and risk. It requires the capacity to cut through the noise and challenge the hype without letting caution lead to complacency or delaying necessary action.

Strategic decision-making in the age of AI spans across almost all functions of an organisation, from Legal and Marketing to IT and HR. Consider these potential dilemmas:

• Unapproved internal use of new generative AI tools, causing conflict between legal and marketing, highlighting the need for clear governance and guardrails.
• Evaluating the acquisition of an AI-native competitor with opaque technology and unclear IP, requiring collaboration across M&A, data, and IT teams.
• Discovering bias in an AI hiring algorithm, necessitating strong ethics, bias assessments, and transparent communication.
• A major customer requesting data sharing for co-developing an AI solution, leading to hesitation from legal/IT while commercial teams push forward.

Responding effectively to such scenarios requires a sophisticated understanding of AI's potential value, risks, and implications across the business.
