In this article, we discuss why boards should not wait for poor performance before confronting AI disruption. The greatest strategic risk often appears when the company still looks healthy: revenue is growing, margins are improving and customers are renewing. That is exactly when boards need to ask harder questions about the cost of inaction, which parts of the business could be commoditized, and what kind of competitor they would build if they wanted to disrupt their own company. The article argues that AI, and eventually quantum computing, should be treated as board-level issues because they can reshape pricing, product development, cybersecurity, talent needs and the business model itself.
