AI oversight: your role as a non-executive director in an AI organisation
AI touches every material decision you oversee. This session offers a compass: which questions to ask the executive board, how to read an AI roadmap, and what the AI Act says about your responsibility.
What you'll learn
-
The AI Act in brief
What the European AI Act means for your supervisory role: high-risk classification, transparency obligations, liability.
-
Questions for the executive board
Where must the executive table provide substantiated answers? A set of critical questions for strategy, audit and risk committees.
-
Risks at the board layer
Where does liability sit, where can you trust? Reputation, model bias, data leakage and third-party dependencies.
-
AI in audit & reporting
Concrete domains where AI already touches your oversight: annual reports, due diligence, internal audit, fraud detection.
