TLDR: Logitech CEO Hanneke Faber has indicated her willingness to consider appointing an AI agent to the company’s board of directors. Speaking at a recent summit, Faber highlighted the current use of AI for meeting summarization and idea generation, envisioning a future where AI could take on more autonomous decision-making roles.
Logitech CEO Hanneke Faber has sparked discussion within the tech and business communities by stating her openness to the idea of integrating artificial intelligence agents into the company’s board of directors. The announcement was made during her address at Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit in Washington, D.C., on October 17, 2025.
Faber, who assumed the role of Logitech’s CEO on December 1, 2023, following her tenure as group president at Unilever, is known for her unconventional perspectives on the evolution of personal technology. She revealed that Logitech currently employs AI agents in ‘almost every meeting’ to enhance productivity, primarily for tasks such as summarizing discussions and generating ideas.
Looking ahead, Faber expressed confidence in the rapid advancements of AI technology, suggesting that future iterations of these agents could evolve into autonomous entities capable of managing and making decisions independently. However, she also underscored the critical importance of governance in such a scenario, posing the question, ‘You have to keep in mind and make sure you really want that bot to take action.’

This is not the first time Faber has introduced a radical concept. She previously gained attention for her ‘Forever Mouse’ idea, which proposed a subscription-based model for software upgrades to a one-time hardware purchase. While the current AI agents at Logitech are described as sophisticated note-taking bots, Faber’s vision points towards a significant shift in corporate decision-making structures, potentially leading to a future where AI could even replace human board members.
