Sunshine Coast Directors’ Briefing: AI and the New Risk Landscape Survival, Trust and Control

AI introduces a new category of risk for boards to consider, including the potential for systemic disruption to business models, erosion of competitive advantage, and unintended consequences at scale.

From cyber vulnerabilities and data integrity risks to workforce disruption and reputational exposure, AI is not just a technology issue it is a boardroom priority. Directors are increasingly required to balance innovation with control, while ensuring stakeholder trust is maintained.

This briefing will explore how boards can respond to AI driven disruption with confidence, discussing risk governance, ethical use, and organisational readiness. It will also consider how directors can ask better questions, interrogate management assumptions, and ensure appropriate guardrails are in place.
