AI has moved from innovation briefing to board-level responsibility, affecting strategy, risk, disclosure and enterprise value at the same time. This episode examines why directors must shift from discussing AI to actively governing it as regulatory, investor and value pressures converge. 

It explores the practical tests boards can use to assess real AI oversight.

TLDR / At a Glance

• Board ownership of AI
 • Strategy, risk and disclosure alignment
 • EU AI Act readiness
 • Ownership, visibility and assurance
 • Investor expectations on AI governance
 • Value creation through disciplined oversight

The key takeaway is clear: AI governance is now central to board accountability, confidence and durable business value.
