Boardroom Dialogue Boardroom
AI Governance in Education and Future Learning
This session explores how educational institutions can move from ad hoc AI experimentation to responsible, scalable AI governance. Drawing on applied research and real-world examples, it examines the policies, risk frameworks and practical safeguards needed to address academic integrity, equity, privacy, transparency and learner agency. Looking ahead to AI tutors, learning companions, automated assessment and AI-mediated credentialing, the session considers how governance must evolve alongside increasingly autonomous systems. Participants will gain practical frameworks, lessons from early adopters and a governance maturity model to help benchmark their institution and identify the next steps towards intentional and ethical AI use.
