Asia Board Leadership Summit

AI and the Board: What Every Company Needs to Know

Deloitte’s latest survey shows that almost 50% of all board directors say AI isn’t even on their agenda yet. But the other half are already using it to run scenario simulations, assess risks, and guide strategic decisions. Meanwhile, regulators are rushing to create AI governance frameworks that boards must navigate whether they understand the technology or not.

At the 2026 Asia Board Leadership Summit, we’ll provide clarity on this complex landscape. Working with ananki.ai—specialists in AI-powered strategic foresight—we’ll examine practical applications that are proving valuable for boards today, not theoretical possibilities for tomorrow.

We’ll discuss three essential capabilities:

1. The ability to distinguish valuable AI applications from expensive theater – Know which tools actually improve decision-making and which are sophisticated dashboards that waste money and distract from real governance.
2. A framework for governing AI systems your company depends on – Understand how to maintain fiduciary responsibility when algorithms influence major decisions, including when to override AI recommendations.
3. Practical experience with AI-powered scenario planning – Use the same generative foresight tools that leading boards employ to stress-test strategies and anticipate market shifts.

This summit focuses on practical governance, not technical details. You’ll learn how to fulfill your fiduciary duties effectively in an environment where AI increasingly influences business operations and strategic choices.

The landscape is evolving rapidly. This is your opportunity to tap into the latest on how AI is affecting the Board.

The Asia Board Leadership Summit is established with the aim of improving board leadership practices in Asia that focus on long-term value creation and sustainable growth – for the good of the firm, shareholders, stakeholders, and society at large. Hosted by the Human Capital Leadership Institute (HCLI), the summit brings together board leaders from across Asia to inspire discussion and lead collaboration in the face of the new opportunities, challenges, and risks arising from this new era in Asia.

The curriculum is built around the most significant macro developments brought about by the growth of Asia. It addresses critical board leadership and governance issues through a combination of keynotes, presentations, panel discussions, analysis of case studies developed based on real life events faced by corporations in Asia, as well as experiential learning through role play and simulation. The summit is facilitated by teaching teams comprising academic and board leaders, is highly interactive, and peer-to-peer learning oriented in its format.
