Most webinars on AI governance in 2026 will walk you through the EU AI Act. This session speaks to something more complex: what  your organisation actually requires to make governance real.

AI is no longer a concept of the future. It is an active participant in your organisation’s workflows. Yet, as adoption accelerates, the gap between governance on paper and governance in practice is widening. Frameworks exist, regulations are tightening, but the organisations that are genuinely getting this right are the ones that deeply understand that effective governance will be the differentiator in the era of AI. As agents do more of the tasks, the job of the organisation and its people will be managing, overseeing, and exercising real judgement at every level.

Join our expert panel as we go beyond compliance checklists to explore the organisational, cultural, and human dimensions of AI governance that no audit framework alone can solve.

Learning objectives: 

  • Understand the implementation gap. Move beyond what the EU AI Act requires to explore what it actually takes to comply.
  • How AI governance is different: Understand usage, continuous monitoring, explainability.
  • Reframe shadow AI: Recognise why shadow AI is fundamentally a risk culture problem, not a detection or inventory problem and learn what it signals about psychological safety inside your organisation.
  • Operationalise human oversight. Unpack what “meaningful human oversight” really means in practice and understand who carries that responsibility, whether they have the training to exercise genuine judgment and the authority to intervene.
