A shareholder of Berkshire Hathaway is advocating for the establishment of a committee of independent directors to manage the risks associated with artificial intelligence across the conglomerate's diverse portfolio. This proposal, submitted by the activist investor group Tulipshare, highlights concerns over potential data leaks, privacy violations, and human rights abuses stemming from AI misuse. The resolution is set to be discussed at Berkshire's annual meeting on May 3.
Warren Buffett, who has led Berkshire since 1965, acknowledged the dual nature of AI's potential during last year's meeting, recognizing both its benefits and risks. Despite Buffett's significant control over the company, previous proposals for independent oversight have struggled to gain traction among shareholders. The call for an AI oversight committee reflects a growing awareness of the need for governance in the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence.
