Theme: Directors in the Age of Algorithms: AI Governance, Legal Accountability and the Board's Duty of Care

Core Question

"What does the Law expect from Directors?"

Artificial Intelligence is redefining the legal and governance responsibilities of corporate boards. As organisations increasingly rely on AI to drive decisions and operations, directors must understand not only the opportunities it presents but also the legal obligations, fiduciary duties, and regulatory expectations that accompany its adoption.

The SCGN 2026 Legal Pre-Conference provides an exclusive platform for directors, company secretaries, legal practitioners, regulators, and governance professionals to examine the legal architecture of AI governance. Through expert-led discussions and practical insights, participants will explore emerging governance risks, board accountability, regulatory developments, and the governance frameworks required to exercise effective oversight in an AI-enabled environment.

Serving as the foundation for the Annual Conference, this pre-conference equips directors with the legal clarity and governance discipline needed to navigate AI responsibly, ensuring they are prepared not only to meet today’s obligations but also to lead tomorrow’s boardroom conversations with confidence.
