CGIC CPD Webinar – AI Governance: Where Does Your Board Actually Stand – November 25, 2026

AI is becoming part of how organizations run, often faster than governance structures can keep pace. In some cases, it’s the board pushing for it, chasing efficiency or a competitive edge. In just as many, AI use has quietly become part of day-to-day operations without ever making it onto the board’s radar as a governance question. Either way, the risk is real, named or not. This one-hour session is where the conversation starts. Designed for Chartered Secretaries, Chartered Governance Professionals, directors, and other governance professionals advising boards and management on AI.

Key Takeaways:

  • Understand how to distinguish between AI terminology and identify practical business applications relevant to governance.
  • Develop a principled approach to AI governance that aligns with the current Canadian legal and regulatory landscape (including PIPEDA and Law 25).
  • Gain a practical risk-spotting checklist to evaluate AI vendors, data handling, and potential fairness issues.
