  • How to build AI literacy across the full board, not just one seat

  • Where AI fits into strategic decision-making without diluting judgement

  • What governance needs to change as AI enters board-assisted decisions

  • How to prepare the boardroom itself, its agendas, papers and meetings, for the AI era
