Webinar replay: AI within the boardroom

October 17, 2024

As we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of business, one undeniable force continues to reshape the way we operate: artificial intelligence (AI). In today’s boardrooms, discussions surrounding AI implementation have become commonplace, with promises of efficiency, innovation and competitive advantage.

However, alongside these opportunities come critical considerations of safety, ethics and legal compliance. It falls upon company secretaries within legal teams to ensure the safe and beneficial integration of AI technologies into your organisations.

To address this, Taylor Root company secretarial recruitment experts Izzy Gower and Sam Perry hosted a comprehensive webinar on AI in the boardroom, where our guest speakers Idris Edalere and Martyn Chapman went through the most asked questions from our recent roundtable on the topic.

Why Watch our webinar Replay:

  • Understand the role of AI in identifying and mitigating risks, from cybersecurity threats to market volatility, ensuring that your board is equipped to navigate an increasingly uncertain world
  • Discover how AI can revolutionise boardroom record-keeping by automating minutes, tracking decisions and ensuring that all critical information is accurately captured and easily accessible
  • Discover how leading organisations are leveraging AI to gain a competitive edge and how boardroom adoption of AI can foster innovation, efficiency and long-term growth
