Abstract

The first revolution in the 18th century saw the harnessing of water and steam power, exploitation of electricity took place in the second revolution and the exploitation of computer science technology in the third revolution. The fourth and fascinating revolution has started with the advent of new technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning and Robot Process Automation (RPA). The above disruptive technologies significantly disrupt the role of a company secretary. A day is not far when Artificial Intelligence is also sitting in the boardroom along with other human Directors. New technology will increasingly change the way the companies work and also the work as a company secretary and governance professional. Technological innovation leads to new corporate governance challenges in terms of ethics, fairness and transparency. The changes need to be embraced with boards and stakeholders suitably advised.
