The Truth About AI In The Boardroom

A board administrator sits at her desk and smiles as she learns all about AI in the boardroom.

Boards & Governance

24 February 2026

More and more boards are using AI in the boardroom – and for a lot more than you might think. On the other hand, others are cautious in their approach, but the jury is still out on which is better – innovation or caution? Finding the balance between embracing new technologies and keeping your data safe is tough.

As an added layer, over the last few years, there has been mounting pressure in boardrooms to improve oversight, streamline processes, and enhance strategic insight. In some cases, boards may be experimenting with AI in ways that open their organisations up to risks.

This eBook, “A Pulse Check on AI in the Boardroom“, dives into all sides of this challenge with the results from a survey given to directors from companies around the world. It covers:

  • AI in the boardroom: From cautious experimentation to more frequent use
  • How are directors using AI?
  • Board AI usage may pose governance risks

Download it today to take an honest, pressure-free look at what AI can and can’t do for the boardroom.
