ala,

82% of directors used generative AI for board work in the last 6 months, up from 66% in September 2025 (source: What Directors Think 2026, Diligent Institute and Corporate Board Member).

It's no longer a question of whether directors will use AI, it's whether they'll use it inside a governed environment, or in consumer tools with no permissions, citation trail, or record of what was asked.

With Ask GovernAI built into Diligent Boards, directors can converse with board materials, pull in context from external research, and call on expert perspectives, all inside one secure, permissioned environment.

What that looks like in practice:

• Every answer is clearly identified as AI-generated and cited back to its source
• Directors only see answers drawn from materials they already have access to
• Content stays encrypted, and you decide how long it’s retained and when it’s deleted

Ready to see it in action?

Best,

The Diligent Team
