Evolving AI Governance: Boardroom Oversight in the Age of Autonomous AI

AI isn’t just a tool—it’s becoming a decision‑maker. From vendor‑supplied models quietly shaping cyber, credit and hiring decisions to emerging AI agents acting as autonomous colleagues, these systems are executing strategies, handling customer interactions, and making decisions that used to be purely human.

 

Boards have decades of policies and structures to oversee people. But what governs algorithms that learn continuously, operate at unprecedented speed, and make judgments that directly affect performance, risk, and reputation?

 

This session explores what forward‑thinking directors are learning as they navigate this new reality: how to ask the right questions, how to help management remain accountable, and how to adapt governance frameworks for a future where human and AI decision‑makers work side by side.
