AI Literacy in the Boardroom: What You Don't Know Is Already a Risk

July 16, 2026
11:00 - 12:00 PM GST
Live on Zoom

AI is already influencing decisions in your organization. The tools are there, the data is flowing, the recommendations are being made — with or without your board’s full understanding of what’s happening under the hood.

And that gap? It’s not just a knowledge problem. It’s a governance risk.

In this first session, we cut through the noise and focus on what board members and governance professionals actually need to understand about AI — not the technology, but the accountability layer: who owns AI decisions, what questions boards should be asking, and what “responsible AI oversight” looks like in practice.

What You’ll Walk Away With

  • A clear framework for AI literacy at board level
  • The 5 questions every board should be asking about AI right now
  • A practical checklist to assess your board's AI readiness

Who Should Attend

  • Board members, C-suite executives, corporate secretaries, governance professionals, and risk & legal leaders across the GCC — UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, and Bahrain.
  • Speakers
