Virtual AI and Technology Forum 2026
This is not a technology forum. It is a governance forum about technology.
How are organisations governing data, cyber risk and digital resilience as interconnected challenges, rather than siloed disciplines? As AI adoption accelerates, these areas are becoming increasingly interdependent, with decisions on data quality, system access and third-party platforms directly shaping both risk exposure and performance.
The forum will move beyond high-level principles to focus on what boards need to see, question and gain confidence in. This includes how organisations are implementing AI governance models, where accountability sits when decisions are automated, and how risk appetite is translated into practical guardrails around use and oversight.
It will also explore the evolving nature of cyber and privacy risk in an AI-enabled environment — from generative AI and cloud platforms to data sovereignty, consent and information integrity. As AI becomes embedded in critical workflows, the discussion will examine how organisations assess threats, ensure “reasonable security” over time, and strengthen resilience across systems and supply chains.
Importantly, the forum will focus on what effective reporting looks like, which metrics matter at board level, and how organisations build assurance through testing, monitoring and escalation pathways.
Ultimately, AI, data and cyber are positioned not just as technology issues, but as core governance, risk and capability challenges — equipping leaders to oversee them with rigour while maintaining accountability, trust and resilience.
Our panel of speakers will look at:
- Delegated decision-making, not just automation
- The digital workforce
- Governance discipline as the real differentiator
- Agentic drift and unintended consequences
- Board and executive accountability
- Governing delegation and setting boundaries for autonomous agents
- When agents go off-script: managing drift, failure and unintended consequences
