The AI odyssey: A 2026 GRC whitepaper for boards and governance leaders

September 16, 2026

AI is now embedded in board portals, risk registers and compliance workflows, moving governance from a quarterly check-in to a continuous discipline. Diligent Institute research shows 66% of directors already use AI for board work, yet only 22% of organisations have a governance process in place to guide it, a gap sharpened by new UK Corporate Governance Code requirements that force boards to prove their controls actually work, not just describe them.

This whitepaper gives boards and governance leaders a clear framework for closing that gap before a regulator, auditor or shareholder asks the question first. Key takeaways:

  • Six emerging AI risk categories explained
  • Practical questions for management and vendors
  • Data foundations that make AI outputs reliable
  • Connected GRC for enterprise-wide risk visibility
  • A four-point board readiness checklist

AI is not the risk, ungoverned AI is. Download the whitepaper to give your board the clarity and confidence to govern AI effectively.
