AI oversight disclosures triple as boards elevate technology governance
Nearly half of Fortune 100 companies now specifically cite AI risk as part of board oversight responsibilities, according to new research from EY Center for Board Matters — a threefold increase from 16% last year to 48% in 2025.
The EY analysis of 80 Fortune 100 company filings and statements indicates boards are significantly expanding their technology governance disclosures. AI-related expertise in director biographies and skills matrices jumped to 44% from 26% in 2024, while 40% of companies now assign AI oversight to at least one board-level committee, compared with just 11% the previous year.
Audit committees remain the most common location for AI oversight at 21% of companies, though disclosures about non-audit committee oversight tend to be more detailed. Companies with technology or nominating and governance committees overseeing AI are more likely to formalize these responsibilities in committee charters and provide specifics such as reviewing approaches to responsible AI development and overseeing ethical AI application.
