AI risk is moving faster than traditional governance, monitoring, and board oversight cycles can absorb. The frameworks most enterprises have in place were not built for the velocity of generative and agentic AI, and the gap between adoption and oversight is widening every quarter.

In this episode of the Trustworthy AI Podcast, host Pamela Gupta sits down with Diana Wu David, Director at ServiceNow Futures and the world's #1 ranked global futurist, to dig into what real board readiness for AI looks like in 2026.

The conversation covers:

• Why traditional risk and audit cycles can no longer keep pace with AI deployment • What boards need to understand about agentic AI risk and accountability • How the Mythos framework helps enterprises de-risk AI adoption without slowing it down • The role of governance scorecards in enabling business velocity rather than blocking it • Where the futurist lens and the governance lens converge on the next 24 months of AI risk
