Therefore, his book, Corporate Director and Officer Liability – ‘Discretionaries’ Not Fiduciaries argues to remove fiduciary status for corporate directors and officers, instead favoring adoption of a new, more accurate term: “corporate directors and officers are, instead, 'discretionaries.'” Such a term he says more “accurately portrays the status of corporate directors and officers who are held to varying standards of liability depending on the applicable facts and circumstances.” With such a new model in mind, “the book addresses a wide range of key issues, including the duty of care, the business judgment rule, exculpation statutes, the duty of good faith, interested director transactions, derivative litigation, mergers and acquisitions, and closely held corporations.” A thought-provoking addition to the field, Prof. Steinberg’s book provides an alternative framework that enhances corporate governance standards while protecting corporate fiduciaries from undue liability exposure. He shares with Regulatory Ramblings host Ajay Shamdasani what prompted him to write such a book on the topic now, as well as why it is important to reframe the role of corporate directors and officers as “discretionaries” rather than “fiduciaries” and what purpose it serves. As Prof. Steinberg acknowledges, it will change the legal analysis and consequently, the responsibilities and liabilities of the parties concerned. He also comments on what he believes his treatise adds to the preexisting scholarship on the matter. Following that, we chat with Tram Anh about her background and he rationale for creating the GWAI – especially when similar such bodies already seem to exist. Looking ahead, she sees GWAI going far and believes its best days are ahead of it. As she put it: GWAI is where inspiration meets action — creating pathways for women to lead in AI, together. From its inception, CFTE has been concerned about inclusive education – that those that want to master the vital technologies of tomorrow should be able to do so without fearing the barriers of cost, class or their current educational, professional or social standing. Tram Anh said that GWAI’s creation was part of that larger, longer-term goal; the same motivation that compelled her, and her partner and co-founder Huy Nguyen Trieu. Indeed, Tram Anh reckons the CFTE has come a long way with offices on multiple continents, and with myriad groups and individuals receptive to its mission of democratizing the learning of fintech and related matters. Ultimately, she believes more needs to be done to get women into more STEM fields, such that they can contribute to the development of AI and Web3.
