AI Tools in the Boardroom: From Understanding to Doing Online, Thursday, 17 December 2026, 18:00–19:00 CET How can board directors move from understanding AI to using it effectively?   Boards increasingly recognize the importance of artificial intelligence. The challenge now is moving beyond awareness to practical application — discovering how AI tools can support directors in their work while preserving the independent judgment essential to effective governance.   Building on the governance perspectives explored in September, this session moves from understanding the implications of AI to exploring its practical applications for board directors. The session is open to all interested participants, whether or not they attended our September event. Robert Maciejko, Founder of the Board AI Institute, will open with a brief perspective on AI governance, introducing a practical framework for effective board oversight. A conversation with Mary Antenen and Matthias Frieden, Co-Presidents of the INSEAD Corporate Governance Club Switzerland, will then explore the opportunities and challenges of putting AI into practice in the boardroom.   Robert will then demonstrate 10 things board members can do with AI today — from preparing for board discussions and researching complex issues to challenging management proposals and supporting better-informed decisions. The session will also address the responsible use of AI tools, including the protection of confidential information. Participants will have an opportunity to raise questions and share perspectives during the concluding Q&A. No prior experience with AI tools is required. Following the event, participants will receive a short practical guide to encourage further exploration over the holiday period.   Robert Maciejko, MBA’92J Founder, Board AI Institute | Co-founder, INSEAD AI (alum-led) Robert Maciejko is Founder of the Board AI Institute and Co-founder of INSEAD AI, an alumni-led global community of more than 3,000 INSEAD-linked leaders.
