Artificial intelligence in leadership challenges traditional governance models
Replacement of humans by autonomous systems in corporate boards is already considered by a significant part of the market
An article by Eduardo Chukr Mafra Ney, PhD candidate at FGV EAESP and executive in the Finance and Strategic Planning area, explores the impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) on high organizational leadership. Published in the GV Executivo magazine, the study investigates different stages of integration between humans and machines in boards and directorates, pointing out risks, opportunities, and possible paths.
As AI evolves and gains analytical and predictive capabilities, its presence in strategic decisions also grows. Examples like the AI systems “Alicia T.” and “Einstein”—already used by major companies—show that the participation of intelligent systems in executive meetings is no longer fiction. According to research by the World Economic Forum, 45% of IT professionals believe that by 2025, AI will be an autonomous member of boards.

In both cases, the author suggests that corporate governance should prepare for a new era where leadership, ethics, and technology will be increasingly interconnected
