Topic: The CISO AI Agenda: Governing Enterprise AI Risk at the Board Level Abstract: Artificial intelligence has rapidly transitioned from an emerging capability to a core enterprise dependency, reshaping how organizations operate, compete, and manage risk. For CISOs, this shift introduces a new governance imperative: AI risk can no longer be managed solely within technical domains—it must be elevated to board-level oversight where strategic, financial, and reputational impacts are defined. This session explores how CISOs can construct and communicate an AI governance agenda that translates technical risk into board-relevant language. It examines the expanding risk surface introduced by AI systems, including model integrity, data exposure, third-party dependencies, regulatory uncertainty, and adversarial machine learning. As AI adoption accelerates, the speed and complexity of risk decisions increasingly outpace traditional security reporting structures. Participants will gain insight into how to align cybersecurity strategy with enterprise governance frameworks, ensuring that AI risk is embedded into executive decision-making processes. The discussion also highlights how CISOs can effectively influence board priorities by quantifying AI-related exposure in business terms such as operational resilience, regulatory liability, and enterprise trust. This session provides CISOs with a strategic framework for governing AI risk at the board level, enabling stronger executive alignment, improved risk visibility, and more informed decision-making in the adoption and scaling of artificial intelligence across the enterprise.
