The online "Empowering AI Toolkit" created by the World Economic Forum in collaboration with more than 100 companies and technology experts is designed to educate boards on their AI oversight responsibilities and provide them with a "how-to" guide to carry out those responsibilities effectively. The Toolkit is structured in the form of 12 standalone "modules" - seven of which address strategy-related oversight areas, and the balance of which address control activities (ethics, governance, risk, and audit) and broader board oversight responsibilities. Each module includes a description of that module's topic and associated board responsibilities, specific oversight recommendations, suggested areas of board/committee discussion and agenda topics, and links to other relevant resources. This introduction defines AI, and explains why the Toolkit was developed and how it is intended to be used.
