With the rise of generative AI, a new era of technological transformation comparable to the arrival of the Internet is on the horizon. Research from the International Monetary Fund indicates that, by 2030, AI will affect approximately 40% of global jobs, underscoring its potential to change labor and competitive dynamics. Furthermore, a recent report from the IBM Institute for Business Value reveals that 62% of CEOs recognize the need to transform their strategic approaches to adapt to this new reality.
Following these data, the collaboration between IBM and Esade represents a crucial step towards the integration of AI in Boards of Directors. By providing appropriate training and resources, we seek to equip directors to effectively lead AI-powered strategies, generating tangible value in their companies.
This approach not only focuses on the immediate benefits of AI, but also addresses ethical and social responsibility considerations, promising a future where technology and ethics coexist in the business sphere. The adaptability and leadership that will be cultivated through this collaboration has the potential to radically transform business management dynamics in the digital age.
Ethical and Strategic Integration of AI
The agreement between IBM and Esade establishes a framework that not only encourages the strategic adoption of AI, but also emphasizes its ethical integration. This involves addressing issues such as explainability, bias, and trust building. Aware that the implementation of AI must be responsible, the framework proposes to advise companies in the formulation of short and long-term strategies that guarantee compliance with high ethical standards.

This comprehensive approach includes the development of a technology platform that enables the safe use of AI in the Board of Directors, appropriately managing data to avoid unwanted results, such as “hallucinations” in AI systems. Counselor training is based on practical experience, allowing them to better adapt to the challenges presented by this technology.
Benefits in Decision Making
The collaboration of IBM and Esade seeks to offer significant benefits in the efficiency of analysis and decision making. Trained counselors will be able to identify risks and opportunities more accurately and manage knowledge more efficiently, which will result in better performance of their duties. Furthermore, by equipping directors with appropriate tools and knowledge, it is hoped that they will be able to address critical issues such as sustainability and innovation in their respective companies.
Finally, the agreement also aims to encourage public debate on the use of AI in senior business management, contributing to the discussion on governance and ethics in the context of digital transformation. This approach aligns with Esade’s mission to cultivate leaders capable of generating a positive impact on society.
