Logitech CEO Wants AI on Company Board of Directors

Hanneke Faber, CEO of Logitech, is pushing the boundaries of artificial intelligence adoption in corporate leadership. She's proposing something no major corporation has done yet: placing AI on the board of directors.

AI Already in Every Meeting

Speaking at a Fortune magazine event in Washington, Faber revealed that Logitech currently uses AI agents in virtually all meetings for:

  • Creating summaries
  • Generating ideas
  • Accessing relevant data
  • Executing autonomous actions

The Next Step: Strategic Decision-Making

According to Faber, the technology is ready. Modern AI agents can already access critical data and act independently. The logical next step? Giving AI a seat at the table where strategic decisions are made.

A Matter of Competitive Advantage

The CEO frames this as a productivity issue. Companies that don't adopt AI at the board level risk falling behind. In rapidly changing economic environments, AI can analyze massive data volumes at the speed needed to adapt to market fluctuations.

Already Happening at Other Companies

Reshema Kemps-Polanco, Executive VP at pharmaceutical giant Novartis, was also at the event. She confirmed that Novartis is training an AI agent for a strategic commercial launch, with the model designed to:
  • Evaluate launch plans
  • Detect blind spots missed by human teams

The future of AI in corporate leadership isn't just coming—it's already here.
