Setting the Board Agenda: A conversation with Steve Hasker, President & CEO of Thomson Reuters

Dive into the inaugural episode of “Setting the Board Agenda,” where today’s leaders redefine risk. Brian Stafford, President & CEO of Diligent, sits down with Steve Hasker, President & CEO of Thomson Reuters (TR), to discuss the intricacies of AI, its monumental influence on the organization and the inherent risks it presents. Key takeaways from their conversation include:

• TR has been investing in AI for more than 30 years, pioneering advanced machine learning long before it became mainstream.
• AI’s integration into newsrooms promises a seismic shift in the media landscape, invigorating journalists’ roles while streamlining their workflows.
• Far more than being a board agenda item, AI is an integral part of every strategic conversation from talent acquisition to innovative product development.

Hasker summarizes the journey of AI adoption by saying, “If we’re in a nine-inning game, we may be at the end of the first inning. So, in other words, it’s early days.”
