Description

As artificial intelligence becomes a material business risk and strategic enabler, boards are increasingly expected to provide informed oversight. Board-Ready AI Governance Templates equip directors and senior executives with practical, ready-to-use materials to govern AI responsibly and confidently.

This book focuses on what boards actually need: clear papers, decision frameworks, and accountability structures that translate complex AI topics into governance-relevant information. It bridges the gap between technical AI discussions and board-level fiduciary responsibilities.

Rather than theory, this handbook provides adaptable templates that can be deployed immediately across different industries and organizational sizes. It aligns AI oversight with existing governance, risk, and compliance structures, avoiding unnecessary complexity.

Key components include:

Board briefing papers on AI risk, value, and regulatory exposure AI governance policies aligned with enterprise risk management Oversight checklists for directors and audit committees RACI matrices clarifying management vs board accountability Guidance for integrating AI into existing governance forums

Designed for board members, executives, and governance leaders, this toolkit enables effective AI oversight without requiring deep technical expertise.
