82% of directors are now using generative AI for board work. That figure has risen from 66% in just nine months.
Only 6% have a formal policy governing how they use it.
AI is reshaping how boards receive information, how directors prepare for meetings and how governance decisions are supported. That shift is happening faster than the frameworks designed to oversee it.
The FCA has confirmed that accountability stays with the person, not the machine.
The EU AI Act became enforceable on 2 August 2026.
The courts are already admonishing firms that got it wrong.
The question is not whether directors should use AI. Most already do. The question is whether they are using it in a way that is grounded, verified and consistent with the personal liability framework that governs everything they do.
On Wednesday the MyDirector-OS Journal publishes a detailed examination of exactly that question, what the law now requires, what the courts have decided, what good AI governance at board level looks like in practice, and how professional directors can ensure that AI assists their judgment rather than replacing it.
