Companies such as Alphabet and Visa are sending signals to enhance AI regulation.

The company's board of directors can no longer just focus on considering the regulation of artificial intelligence - they must clearly demonstrate to investors how important this is, who is responsible for it, and how they are prepared to take action. According to a statement from the proxy for the year 2026, a few S&P 500 index component companies such as Alphabet Inc., Visa Inc., and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. have either established new board committees or updated the responsibilities of existing committees to strengthen oversight of AI in the past year.
