Navigating risks and creating more effective oversight

Board directors and governance professionals are already using generative AI tools to support board activities, often to varying levels of maturity. Additionally, recent research suggests there is a gap between AI usage in the boardroom and the presence of risk, ethics or governance processes to manage its use.

As AI usage in the boardroom is set to become more common this conversation between Governance Intelligence and Diligent explores what boards and governance teams need to know in 2026 regarding AI-empowered boardrooms.

Examining the findings from the recently published Governance Blueprint: the AI-powered boardroom we will discuss:
  • Where liability can arise: understand the legal risks and implications related to AI-generated information, reliance on AI in decision-making and AI tools ‘listening’ to board meetings
  • The risk of inaction: explore the consequences of not having clear plans and policies and discover the steps that governance professionals can take to ensure safe and transparent usage by both board members and corporate secretaries
  • What to expect in 2026: learn about the key trends, priorities and how governance professionals are preparing their boards for the next phase of AI integration
