AI for Non-Executive Directors (NEDs)

Course Overview

This two-hour course is designed specifically for Non-Executive Directors operating in Regulated, Governance-heavy environments. It equips NEDs with the shared language and confidence needed to engage effectively in Board-Level discussions about AI.

Course Content

The course explains key AI concepts in plain English, including the difference between chatbots, custom AI assistants and autonomous agents, before exploring how AI is reshaping work, decision support and organisational risk. Particular attention is paid to the risks of “shadow AI”, which is an informal or unmanaged AI use that bypasses governance.

A practical live demonstration shows how NEDs can personally use AI tools to support their role, with an emphasis on safe, confidential use that enhances scrutiny and challenge, including:

Analysing board papers
Reviewing unfamiliar or technical documents
Identifying inconsistencies or unanswered questions

The session also focuses on independent oversight, covering the key questions NEDs should be asking Boards and Executives about AI use, Accountability, Data Protection and Decision Responsibility, supported by a concise overview of GDPR and the EU AI Act.
