Artificial intelligence, including but not limited to generative AI, has taken the world by storm over the past year, with organizations worldwide scrambling to identify where and how it can be used to strengthen their businesses and grow competitive advantage. Without question, as companies move quickly to employ these technologies, ESG issues come into play at a number of levels, from sustainability reporting to social and governance risks that must be managed.  
In this episode of Board Perspectives, Protiviti Associate Director Alyse Mauro Mason talks with Protiviti Managing Directors Christine Livingston and Mark Carson about AI and how it can be used in sustainability, some examples of use cases, and where you can leverage AI to identify opportunities and risk.
