OnBoard: The Podcast for Modern Board Leaders
💡 AI Governance Begins with Clarity: Distinguishing Between RPA, AI & IA
AI is not a one-size-fits-all technology, yet it’s often treated that way in governance discussions. Boards need to distinguish rule-based automation (RPA), predictive AI, decision-making IA, and Agentic AI—each requiring a different governance model, risk approach, and oversight structure.
In this episode, we explore:
✅ The 3C AI Governance Model—how boards can classify AI and apply the right oversight controls.
✅ The risk of misclassifying AI systems—and why it could lead to compliance failures, reputational damage, or liability issues.
✅ Agentic AI vs. IA—the new frontier of autonomous AI decision-making and what it means for accountability in governance.
Boards don’t need to be AI experts—but they do need to ask the right questions. Tune in to learn how to future-proof AI governance and lead with clarity.
