Why each option

Senior management needs to understand both the potential risks and the expected benefits of AI solutions to make informed approval decisions.

APotential benefits from use of Al solutionsCorrect

Before approving AI solutions, senior management must clearly understand the potential benefits and value proposition, such as efficiency gains, cost savings, or new revenue streams, to justify the investment and associated risks. This understanding allows them to weigh the strategic advantages against the identified risk exposure.

BMonitoring techniques required for AI solutions

Monitoring techniques are operational details relevant to implementation, not the primary decision factor for initial approval by senior management.

CChanges to existing infrastructure to support Al solutions

Changes to infrastructure are implementation details, not the core strategic justification senior management needs for approval.

DSkills required to support Al solutions

Required skills are operational concerns for execution, not the most important factor for senior management's initial approval decision on using AI.
