AI for Board Members

Public Company Board Director

Use AI safely as a board member, know its limits, build your own assistant

You sit on a board that talks about AI. Yet, you're using AI like a chatbot.

You're expected to have a view, approve the spend, and ask management the right questions, without using AI in your day to day.

In five live sessions, you'll learn how to:

  • Know what AI is good at today: capabilities, agents, verification

  • Use AI safely as a board member: its limits, the rules, and what regulation asks of your board

  • Build your assistant's context: your boards, your sectors, your record

  • Build your assistant's watch on regulation, litigation and competitor moves

  • Build your assistant's deck reviewer, and cut your board prep in half

Know what AI is genuinely good at, and where it fails

Ask management better questions about their AI plans

3 out of 5 sessions include a live build on your own board material.

  • 20% Theory, 20% Regulation, 60% Practical

  • Small cohorts, capped at 20 directors

  • 100% Live Sessions with real demos

  • Office hours follow for hands-on help.

Co-taught with Raj Mukherjee, sitting board member

IMPORTANT: No coding at any point. We build in Claude because it shows the mechanics fastest, and every system translates to Gemini, Microsoft Copilot or ChatGPT.

What you’ll learn

Use AI safely in your board work, understand what it can and can't do, and leave with your own board assistant, built live.

  • A framework for safe use: what board material can go where, and why the account tier decides it

  • How regulation is landing on boards, the EU AI Act being the clearest example so far

  • What you're accountable for when AI is in the business, and the questions worth asking management

  • What AI does well, where it still fails, and how to tell which is which in practice

  • What an AI agent is, what it can do on your behalf, and where the line sits for a director

  • Configure your environment: account type, projects, folder structure, permissions

  • Track regulation, litigation, competitor moves and technology shifts without reading everything

  • Get briefed before each board cycle instead of fed a daily stream

  • Tune it to the specific companies and risks on your own boards

  • Turn a 100-page pack into a summary and a delta against last cycle in minutes

  • Spot what the pack leaves out, not just what it contains

  • Cut your preparation in half without reading less carefully

  • Decisions, commitments, open risks, and who owns what by when

  • Pull up a decision or an owner from months ago in seconds

  • One system across all your seats, not one notebook per board

Who this course is for

  • Serving directors who need to oversee AI without drifting into management, and want to use it in their own board work

  • Board aspirants building a credible, current point of view, plus a work sample they can take into an interview

Prerequisites

  • A paid AI account

    We demo in Claude Pro or Max, roughly $20 to $100 a month. Gemini, ChatGPT or Copilot is fine if that's your stack.

  • No technical skills required

    If you can use email and read a board pack, you can do everything in this course.
