Why Directors Can'tTreat AI asSomeone Else's Problem
Your organisation's AI systems now sit squarely inside your fiduciary duty.
They touch anti-discrimination law, data protection, labour law, human rights, ESG, cyber, and securities disclosure. When those systems misfire—through hallucination, bias, or data leakage—regulators and courts don't ask whether your vendor was reputable. They ask whether the board understood the risks, asked the right questions, and put governance in place. Under regimes like the EU AI Act, penalties can reach up to €35M or 7% of global turnover.
This programme is built to close that gap in weeks, not years—with pragmatic tools, not technical theory.
You will not learn how to build models.
You will learn how to govern them.
Board-Level Imperative
Why AI Governance Is Now aBoard-Level Risk,Not an 'IT Problem'
Regulators, investors and auditors are no longer treating AI as a side project.
Anti-discrimination law, data protection, human rights, ESG and cybersecurity frameworks now expect board-level oversight of AI – not just a delegated 'IT' report.
A single governance failure – from biased hiring models to mis-sold financial products – can trigger regulatory fines, shareholder action and personal liability for directors. Under regimes like the EU AI Act, penalties can reach up to €35M or 7% of global turnover.
This programme is built for directors who need to close that gap quickly: in 8 weeks, you gain practical AI literacy and governance frameworks you can actually use in board meetings, audit committees and with external counsel.
What You'll Achieve
Turn AI from a black-box risk into an auditable system you can question.
Document reasonable, good-faith oversight to protect your position.
Align AI oversight with your existing governance, audit and ESG structures.
The Director Pain Points This Course Solves
Each question represents a real governance gap that has ended careers. Select any to explore.
'Am I personally liable if our AI systems fail?'
Understand how AI risk connects to your fiduciary duties and potential personal liability.
'I don't speak the language. How can I challenge AI proposals?'
Translate complex AI concepts into clear, actionable board-level questions.
'How do I verify AI outputs without being a tech expert?'
Implement verification processes to ensure AI-generated information is trustworthy.
'How do I know if our AI is discriminating?'
Detect and mitigate bias in AI systems to ensure fairness and compliance.
'What happens when AI fails—and what do I do?'
Implement AI incident response plans to manage failures effectively.
'How do we trust our AI vendors and auditors?'
Establish robust due diligence for AI vendors and external auditors.
'How do we fit AI into our ESG & governance structures?'
Integrate AI risk management into your existing ESG and board oversight frameworks.
This programme is structured to match how directors actually make decisions: from foundational mindset, to practical use of AI, to high-risk governance scenarios and board-ready protocols.

Trusted Board-Level Credentials
This course is built on real governance expertise and proven AI implementation success
What You Will Be Able to Do in 8 Weeks
This is an 8-week, 4–6 hour total programme designed for active directors. Each module is intentionally short but dense, so you get maximum impact for minimum time.
AI Fundamentals & Mindset for Directors
You will:
- Understand AI as pattern-matching software, not intelligence.
- Learn three core AI risks and how they show up in board papers.
- Adopt the Critical Friend framework so you can challenge management constructively rather than deferring to 'the experts.'
Outcome:
A shared language and mindset across the board: everyone knows what AI is, what it isn't, and where the true governance risks lie.
Who This Course is For
This programme is specifically designed for board directors, C-suite executives, and senior risk and compliance officers who need to understand and govern AI without becoming AI experts themselves.
Executive Directors
Gain the confidence to ask the right questions, challenge AI proposals, and ensure your organisation is deploying AI responsibly and compliantly.
Audit & Risk Committee Members
Understand AI's unique risk profile, integrate AI oversight into existing frameworks, and ensure robust governance is in place.
Compliance & Legal Officers
Get up-to-speed on AI regulations, build defensible compliance strategies, and ensure your organisation avoids costly AI-related legal pitfalls.
How This Programme Is Different
Most AI training
for boards is:
- High-level and theoretical
- Focused on 'what AI can do', not how to govern it
- Written for technologists, then 'simplified' for directors
Tick-box compliance. Forgettable.
This course is:
- Built from the ground up for board directors—case-based, regulation-aware, and focused on your actual decisions and signatures.
- Structured with progressive complexity: plain language first, then technical depth, then board application.
- Packed with checklists, templates, and question frameworks you can plug directly into: board packs, committee charters, vendor RFPs, incident playbooks, and ESG reports.
Worth every pound of £5,995.
You won't leave with abstract diagrams.
You will leave with reusable tools that change how you read a board paper, how you challenge an AI proposal, and how you record AI decisions.

Investment: The Cost of Oversight
vs. The Cost of Failure
A focused, board-level programme priced as a risk-management tool, not a 'nice-to-have' course.
Cost of Oversight
"Insurance policy against regulatory risk"
Cost of Failure
"What if we do nothing?"
A single AI governance failure – whether a regulatory fine under the EU AI Act, a public discrimination claim, or a material mis-statement driven by automated analysis – can cost millions and expose directors to personal liability.
This course is designed as an insurance policy against that risk: you invest once, and gain lifetime access to practical tools, templates and updates as regulations evolve.
Two Options:
Individual Director Option
Annual access to all modules and future updates, including frameworks, checklists and prompt libraries.
Enterprise Board License
Volume-discounted licensing for 5+ directors, dedicated board portal and the option to integrate your own AI risk register into exercises.
