In the Leading the Future: Artificial Intelligence and Effective Boards conference, in her opening remarks, Duygu Yılmaz emphasized that the potential of artificial intelligence can only translate into sustainable value creation when combined with a sound governance approach, a strong ethical framework, and a human-centric perspective.
The opening remarks for Leading the Future: Artificial Intelligence and Effective Boards, organized in collaboration with Corporate Governance Association of Türkiye.
Artificial intelligence is no longer simply a technology issue—it has become a board-level responsibility. As AI reshapes competition, risk, and value creation, boards are expected to oversee AI-driven decisions that affect every part of the organization. But effective governance is not about having all the answers. It is about asking the right questions, challenging assumptions, demanding evidence, and holding management accountable.
In her opening remarks, Duygu Yılmaz, Secretary General of the Corporate Governance Association of Türkiye, explained why AI raises the bar for leadership and why governance—not technology alone—will determine long-term success in the age of artificial intelligence.
