in the field of Specialized Knowledge (SK)
Artificial intelligence has already entered the boardroom, whether through company-approved platforms or individual director use. A recent Diligent survey of over 100 U.S. public company directors found that 82% have used generative AI in their board work during the past six months, yet 54% reported their companies have no guidance for director AI use and only 6% indicated a formal board-specific AI policy is in place. As adoption accelerates, directors must understand not only the risks of using AI, including confidentiality, reliability, cybersecurity, and trust, but also the risks of allowing AI use to occur informally without clear safeguards or governance expectations.
Join BDO and Diligent for a practical discussion on how directors can use AI safely, effectively, and in a manner consistent with their oversight responsibilities. Panelists will explore common boardroom use cases, potential pitfalls, and a guide for responsible adoption that helps directors evaluate when and how AI may support board activities while preserving independent judgment, professional skepticism, confidentiality, and effective governance. Participants will leave with practical considerations for balancing the risks of AI adoption with the risks of delayed or unmanaged use.
