Responsible AI for Non-Executive Directors

Build board-level confidence in AI governance

AI is transforming how organisations operate – yet research from our AI Company Data Initiative (AICDI) highlights significant gaps in corporate AI governance, transparency and accountability.

As organisations increasingly integrate AI into business operations, boards face growing responsibility for ensuring risks are understood, managed and appropriately governed.

This training equips board members with the knowledge, tools and practical frameworks needed to provide effective oversight of AI systems and ensure responsible AI governance across their organisations.

The programme is specifically designed for Non-Executive Directors and board members, requiring no technical background while providing clear guidance on emerging governance, legal, ethical and reputational considerations.
