Sherpany invites you to their event

Is Your Board Ready for AI? Opportunities, Risks and Governance in the Irish Boardroom

About this event

AI is changing the way boards work. From preparing for meetings and reviewing complex information to supporting strategic decisions, its potential to improve board effectiveness is significant.

But how ready are Irish boards to embrace AI? And how can directors take advantage of these opportunities while protecting confidential information, maintaining human oversight and meeting their governance responsibilities?

As AI adoption accelerates, boards must navigate new challenges around data protection, accountability, directors' duties and the evolving requirements of the EU AI Act. The question is no longer simply whether to adopt AI, but how to use it responsibly, securely and effectively.

Join Board Agenda and Sherpany for a frank, practical discussion led by award-winning broadcaster Joe Lynam. Our expert panel will explore how AI is reshaping boardroom practices in Ireland, the opportunities and risks directors need to consider, and the practical steps organisations can take to balance innovation with strong governance, and who is accountable when AI shapes a decision.

What you'll learn

  • Accountability in an AI era: Why directors remain fully responsible for their decisions, however those decisions are informed, and what that means when AI-generated analysis shapes the outcome.
  • AI in the boardroom: Where AI can improve board preparation, streamline information analysis and support better-informed decisions, and where human judgement remains essential.
  • Governance and regulation: What Irish company law, data protection requirements and the EU AI Act mean for directors using AI-assisted tools.
  • Confidentiality and security: How to protect sensitive board information and manage the risks associated with unapproved AI tools.
  • Responsible AI adoption: Which policies, safeguards and secure board technologies can help organisations embrace AI with confidence.

What you'll leave with

Practical insights to help your board identify opportunities for AI adoption while maintaining effective governance and oversight.

You'll gain a clearer understanding of the key questions directors should be asking, the safeguards needed to protect sensitive information, and the steps your organisation can take to build AI literacy, accountability and confidence in AI-assisted decision-making.
