AI use by directors and boards: Early insights

As organisations globally embed artificial intelligence (AI) into their operations and business strategies, conversations in boardrooms are shifting from ‘how do we govern AI’ to ‘how can AI help us govern’?  

AI use by directors and boards: Early insights examines how AI is being used within boardrooms and by directors. Drawing on interviews with chairs, non-executive directors and experts from a range of organisations, this resource explores: 

1. current and emerging practices around board and director use of AI, including case studies from boards and directors actively experimenting with AI; 

2. potential impacts on the roles of director, chair and company secretary, as well as wider boardroom dynamics; and  

3. practical and governance considerations for directors and boards looking to move from oversight of organisational use of AI to deploying AI tools for their own governance purposes. 

The resource includes practical tips, director questions and red flags to prompt boards to consider where AI can add value, where it may introduce new vulnerabilities, and how human judgment remains central to decision-making.  

AI use by directors and boards: Early insights is an entry point for open and constructive boardroom conversations on a complex and fast-moving topic. 

Register for our national virtual session to launch the resource on 11 February 2026, at 12pm.
