AI Governance Training for Boards and C-Suite
By the 2026 proxy season, boards must demonstrate AI literacy in proxy statements. Investors expect documented director training. Personal liability under FAR is real. Is your leadership team ready?
Directors Face New AI Oversight Obligations
Fiduciary duty now explicitly extends to AI oversight. Unknown AI is unmanaged AI, and unmanaged AI is a fiduciary risk.
2026 Proxy Season Pressure
BlackRock, Allianz, and Glass Lewis updated stewardship guidelines. By 2026 proxy season, boards must document director training and oversight frameworks. Fall short and face withhold recommendations.
FAR Personal Liability
Under Australia's Financial Accountability Regime, accountable persons face personal liability. AI governance failures creating customer harm or systemic risk trigger FAR liability.
Can't Delegate This Away
AI affects earnings, TSR, ROIC, and cost structure. It falls within the board's duty to protect shareholder value. "Management will handle it" doesn't cut it anymore.
Leadership Training vs Staff Training
Board members and executives don't need technical AI training. They need governance training.
