Peer [X]Change Roundtable | The board's new brief: from AI oversight to AI accountability
** Please note: Space is limited to 19 seats and is available on a first-come, first-served basis. We recommend arriving early to secure your spot. **
Most boards are still catching up. The companies pulling ahead have already moved on.
AI in 2026 is no longer only a product question. It has become a strategy, operations, culture, and risk question, often simultaneously, and at a pace that outstrips most governance frameworks. The leaders navigating this most effectively have boards who are genuinely engaged at that depth and asking the right questions, bringing the right expertise, and moving fast enough to matter.
The most forward-thinking Chairs and NEDs are actively seeking better frameworks for how to add real value through this period, not just sign off on AI strategies they half-understand, but stress-test them, shape them, and hold leadership accountable for outcomes. The most effective CEOs are working out how to bring their boards with them, not route around them.
This is the conversation at the intersection of both, and with the EU AI Act now partially in force but already being amended and delayed, the stakes for getting board-level AI governance right have never been higher.
