The fund is trying to use its heft — it owns on average about 1.5% of every listed company worldwide — to improve all its investments’ use of AI by focusing on three areas: 1) ensuring boards are accountable for the responsible development and use of AI. 2) transparency of how companies use AI and 3) ensuring outside verification and auditing of their AI systems.
Instead, the fund is trying to use its heft — it owns on average about 1.5 per cent of every listed company worldwide — to improve all its investments’ use of AI by focusing on three areas.
