Mauro da Cunha offers a clear, grounded examination of how boards should approach AI with discipline and structure rather than enthusiasm alone. His article moves past abstract discussions and focuses on the practical implications for board culture, preparation, and accountability. By outlining the risks and appropriate use cases for AI notetakers, generative assistants, and virtual “AI directors,” he provides a thoughtful framework that helps directors integrate new tools without compromising judgment or engagement. It’s a steady, well‑reasoned piece that encourages boards to adopt AI deliberately and with governance at the forefront.

Mauro da Cunha warns that mandatory arbitration in issuer‑investor disputes undermines market trust. Drawing on Brazil’s Novo Mercado experience, where arbitration delivered “precisely zero dollars” in compensation and fostered secrecy, Mauro argues the U.S. risks repeating a costly mistake.
