Artificial intelligence is moving to the top of the board agenda - not just as a technology topic, but as a strategic question of risk, oversight and longterm value creation. Supervisory boards are being asked to guide their organisations through fastevolving regulation, ethics and cybersecurity concerns while still enabling innovation and growth.

In this expert briefing, hosted in partnership with the American Chamber of Commerce, we will unpack what supervisory boards really need to know about AI today - from risk and accountability to practical opportunities across the enterprise. The session is designed as a thought leadership discussion, focused on frameworks and questions boards can apply immediately.

What you’ll learn

By the end of the webinar, participants will be able to:

• Clarify the board’s role in AI governance
  Understand how supervisory boards should oversee AI strategy, risk and accountability - and where responsibilities sit between the board, management and committees.
• Map the key AI risk categories for your organisation
  Explore the main risk areas boards must monitor, including data privacy and security, regulatory exposure, ethics and bias, model explainability, workforce impact and reputational risk.
• Balance AI risk with innovation and opportunity
  Learn how leading boards are encouraging safe experimentation with AI while setting guardrails that protect trust, stakeholders and longterm strategy.
• Integrate AI into your risk and oversight structures
  See practical ways to add AI to the risk register, align with existing enterprise risk frameworks, and determine which committees and reporting lines should own ongoing oversight.
• Raise AI literacy at board level
  Identify what “good enough” AI literacy looks like for directors, and how to build the knowledge needed to ask the right questions and challenge management effectively.
• Turn boardroom discussion into concrete actions
  Translate AI conversations into policies, metrics and followup — from setting principles and guardrails to defining reporting, escalation paths and success measures.

Key discussion themes

• How AI is changing the risk landscape for boards and why “doing nothing” may be the biggest risk of all
• What new and upcoming AI regulations (such as the EU AI Act) mean for supervisory board responsibilities
• Practical questions supervisory boards should be asking management about AI strategy, data, thirdparty tools and internal use cases
• How to embed AI considerations into existing governance processes — from strategy and capital allocation to audit, risk and remuneration
• Building an AIaware culture: training, communication and setting the tone from the top

Who should attend

This webinar is designed for:

• Supervisory board members and nonexecutive directors who need to provide informed oversight of AI risk and opportunity.
• Board and committee chairs (audit, risk, technology, ESG) responsible for integrating AI into existing oversight structures.
• Csuite leaders in the American Chambers network - including CEOs, CFOs, CROs, CIOs and Chief Legal / Compliance Officers - who partner with boards on AI strategy and risk.
• General Counsel, Chief Risk Officers and governance professionals supporting the board with AI policies, risk registers and reporting.

Whether your organisation is just beginning to explore AI or is already deploying AI across the enterprise, this session will offer a clear, practical view of what modern supervisory boards need to understand - and how they can steer the enterprise confidently in the AI era.

A moderated discussion will be followed by live Q&A so participants can bring their own questions and scenarios to the conversation.
