4 min 49 sec
In this episode of Grant & Graham Podcasts, I delve into the critical role of artificial intelligence in corporate governance as we look ahead to 2026. Many boards are grappling with AI integration, often focusing on the wrong questions—specifically, which tools to adopt rather than how to govern AI effectively.

Discover how leading organizations are successfully navigating these challenges and what decisions every CEO must make to harness the full potential of AI while safeguarding their organization. Tune in for insights that could shape your board's approach to AI governance.Play episode
