Grant Thornton Hong Kong’s 15th annual Corporate Governance Review revealed that executives at the largest listed companies in Hong Kong are ill-prepared for the AI era. The report found fewer than 1% of directors possess dedicated artificial intelligence or cybersecurity skills, despite more than half (59%) viewing these areas as principal business risks. Only 11% of firms have established specialized board committees to oversee digital threats and technology integration. These deficiencies persist even after the introduction last year of updated HKEX Corporate Governance Code standards, which mandated director training, stricter overboarding limits, and skill matrices for boards. The study surveyed 100 major companies listed on the Hang Seng Composite Index.
