AI, Data and the Boardroom: How Australia's Leading Organisations Are Preparing for What's Next

Artificial Intelligence is no longer a technology issue. It is a boardroom issue.

As organisations accelerate AI adoption, boards and executive teams are increasingly being asked to navigate complex questions around governance, data stewardship, regulatory oversight, risk management, organisational readiness and stakeholder trust.

For General Counsel and legal leaders, the challenge extends beyond legal risk. Today's legal function is playing a critical role in helping organisations balance innovation with accountability, ensuring that emerging technologies are deployed responsibly while supporting strategic growth and transformation.

Join an exclusive group of General Counsel and senior legal leaders for an intimate executive dinner and discussion exploring how leading organisations are preparing for the opportunities and challenges presented by AI and data-driven decision making.

Our panel will examine the practical realities of AI governance, board oversight, organisational transformation and the evolving role of legal leaders in shaping the future of their organisations.

DISCUSSION FOCUS

• Is your organisation's AI strategy board-ready? 
• Who owns AI governance? 
• Data, trust and reputation in the age of AI. 
• Balancing innovation with risk and regulation. 
• How leading organisations are preparing their workforce and operating models for what's next.
