Overview
AI regulation is evolving at an unprecedented speed. With jurisdictions around the world introducing landmark legislation, including the EU AI Act, boards and governance professionals are increasingly expected to understand their responsibilities and ensure their organisations are compliant, accountable, and well‑prepared.
This advanced masterclass demystifies the global AI regulatory landscape and equips governance professionals with the insight and frameworks they need to support board oversight. Participants will explore what regulators expect, how legal and ethical requirements shape AI deployment, and what operational governance must look like to support compliance.
What you'll learn
This course provides a strategic and practical examination of the global AI regulatory environment. Participants will analyse emerging regulations across key jurisdictions, including the EU, UK, US, and China - and explore what these developments mean for governance professionals, company secretaries, and boards.
The masterclass examines the core risks associated with AI deployment, such as data privacy, IP ownership, algorithmic bias, model transparency, and liability. It also unpacks the interconnected roles of Legal, Risk, and Ethics functions in ensuring AI solutions are deployed responsibly.
Crucially, delegates will learn what board‑level oversight of AI should look like, how to structure cross‑functional collaboration, and how to integrate ethical decision‑making into long‑term horizon scanning.
By the end of the course, participants will be equipped to support informed, compliant, and forward‑looking AI governance at the highest levels of their organisation.
