Emerging risks: AI in the boardroom – what it means for directors & officers’ risk

“A 2026 UK survey found that nearly three-quarters of C-suite tech executives (73%) uploaded confidential company data into AI tools.”

Lead Management Liability underwriter for rrelentless, Sam Cornelius, featured in a recent Emerging Risks article exploring the growing impact of artificial intelligence on boardroom decision-making and Directors & Officers (D&O) risk.
