AI in the Boardroom: What Every Director Should Be Asking

AI is rapidly reshaping how organizations make decisions, manage risk, and create value — raising new questions about the role boards should play in its oversight. 

Join Professor Shiva Rajgopal, Faculty Director of Empowering the Board with AI, and David Curran, seasoned executive, advisor, and thought leader at the intersection of AI, governance, ethics, business, and law, for a timely conversation on what effective board oversight looks like in an increasingly AI-driven business environment. 

Through a practical, board-level discussion, they will explore how directors can develop a more independent perspective on AI, ask better questions of management, identify emerging risks and opportunities, and strengthen governance — without needing to become technology experts. 

Attendees will gain insights into how to:

• Strengthen independent oversight by evaluating AI beyond the information and assumptions presented by management
• Ask better questions about AI strategy, implementation, risk, and organizational readiness
• Navigate emerging governance challenges as AI increasingly intersects with strategy, risk, ethics, regulation, and board accountability
• Apply stronger judgment in the boardroom while distinguishing the board’s oversight role from management’s responsibility for execution
