Generative and Agentic AI in the Boardroom: The Critical Governance Playbook for 2026

Generative and agentic AI are rapidly reshaping how organisations operate, shifting AI from a technical tool to a board-level concern. As autonomy increases, so do the governance, risk, and accountability demands placed on leadership.

This episode explores how boards can establish effective oversight of AI in 2026.

• generative vs agentic AI distinction
 • rising board-level priority and oversight gap
 • regulatory pressure across EU US and UK
 • core questions boards must ask management
 • AI inventory risk ranking and governance design
 • case studies on controlled enterprise adoption

Strong AI governance requires clear accountability, structured oversight, and alignment with evolving regulation to manage risk while enabling value.
