Webinar : AI Pulse survey findings 2026

The BoardPro AI Governance Pulse surveyed 485 board directors, executives, and governance leaders across Australia and New Zealand, revealing a rapidly widening gap between how quickly AI is being adopted inside organisations and how slowly governance frameworks, policies, and oversight practices are evolving to keep pace. While many leaders acknowledge the transformative potential of AI, the findings highlight growing concerns around risk visibility, board capability, accountability, and the absence of clear governance structures to guide safe and responsible deployment. Join governance and AI experts Helen van Orton and Alexie O'Brien as they unpack the key findings from the survey, explore what high-performing organisations are doing differently, and provide a practical, step-by-step action plan that boards and leadership teams can begin implementing immediately. If your organisation is struggling to move from AI discussion to effective AI governance and execution, this webinar will help you turn insight into action starting this Monday. What You’ll Learn in This Free Webinar Understand what the data says about your personal exposure as a director, including the AI risks most boards have never discussed. See where your organisation sits on both the AI readiness and AI governance arcs, based on real data from 476 peers. Get five board-ready questions you can put on your next agenda to shift AI from a technology issue to a governance conversation. Understand the three patterns that keep organisations stuck between "exploring" and "governing", and how to break through. Walk away with a 30-day action plan that starts Monday, not next quarter
