‘Traditional governance is not ready for the AI world:’ Legal leaders discuss the profession’s new normal

As AI moves from pilot projects to always-on agents embedded in everyday workflows, a governance gap is opening fast. In a recent Governance Intelligence briefing held with Nasdaq, experts warned that many boards are still treating AI as a technology topic rather than a structural shift that will reshape strategy, oversight and operating models.

Panellists explored what the ‘agentic enterprise’ means in practice: why layering tools onto old processes won’t deliver transformation; how to balance speed with control and what metrics boards should measure to track impact, adoption and risk. They also highlighted practical threats, from so-called 'shadow AI' to data access, and the urgency of building shared AI literacy across the boardroom. If your organization is adopting AI at pace, this briefing provides a timely roadmap for moving from intent to accountable execution.

Read more here to get the full recap, which includes the key takeaways and the actions boards can take now to keep governance fit for an AI-first world.
