Responsible Investor reports that major US pension funds are preparing to hold corporate directors accountable for AI oversight failures. The move reflects growing concern that boards are not sufficiently managing the ethical, reputational, and legal risks associated with deploying artificial intelligence.

The funds are expected to file shareholder resolutions targeting governance gaps, demanding clearer accountability, transparency, and risk mitigation strategies. This shift positions AI governance as a core environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issue.

The article also notes potential legal consequences for directors who fail to address foreseeable AI-related harms or comply with evolving regulations.
