# Integrate AI into Core Board Processes

**Action:** Embed AI tools into board-level scenario planning, risk modeling, and capital allocation decisions.

**Details.** Move the board of directors beyond the 'Luddite' or basic 'Hygiene' phases of AI adoption (stages 1–2 of the [[framework-board-evolution-pyramid]]). Actively integrate AI tools into core governance processes such as **scenario planning, risk modeling, CEO evaluation, and capital allocation** to create a hybrid model of human-machine deliberation — the pathway toward [[concept-agentic-governance]].

**Expected outcome:** Augmented board judgment and transition to an **'AI-Ready'** governance maturity level (stage 3).
