Explore the sessions included in the bundle below:

AI regulation update – Campbell Featherstone  
(30 minutes)

Campbell paints a picture of what’s coming in the next 12 – 14 months, along with regulation in other jurisdictions. What should you be thinking about and lessons from across the globe. 

AI governance & competitive advantage – A board’s role – Matt Ensor CMInstD  
(45 minutes)

AI will soon begin to reshape how businesses operate and compete, and boards must govern their organisations with this in mind. AI can boost efficiency, improve decision-making, and create new opportunities, but it’s also changing markets, increasing competition, and shifting the balance of power. Boards need to focus on both—how AI strengthens the business from within and how it transforms the world outside. This isn’t about chasing trends—it’s about governing AI to drive competitive advantage, ensure ethical use, and create long-term value.  

Fast Fact – The geopolitics of AI – Professor Michael Witbrock
(15 minutes)

In this Fast Fact session, Prof Michael Witbrock discusses the geopolitics of AI and its potential impact on New Zealand, emphasising our unique opportunity to benefit from AI due to its high potential per capita benefits and low automation risk.  

Fast Fact – AI & cyber security – Alastair Miller
(15 minutes)

With businesses and cyber criminals increasingly using AI to aid them in their goals, AI can be both a hindrance and a help when it comes to cyber security.  This Fact Fact session covers how security and privacy should be at the forefront when implementing AI tools.  It will also discuss the board’s role to ensure the risks are balanced with opportunities.

Fast Fact – Quantum & AI – Hema Sridhar
(20 minutes)

In this session, Hema provided an overview of quantum computing and its potential impacts, emphasising the importance of preparedness for post-quantum encryption. Watch as she discusses the fundamental concepts of quantum superposition and entanglement, and the potential applications in finance, medicine, logistics, and complex problem-solving.  

The future of marketing: Exciting or existential? – Tim Sharp
(43 minutes)

AI is fundamentally reshaping marketing. Today, teams can already do more with less, adding new skills like data science (without writing a line of code), or creating major new campaigns (without picking up a camera). Yet in the next five years, these tools are also likely to pick up more and more of our day-to-day. Which isn't even to mention an entire new governance paradigm from intellectual property to customer trust. So where does this leave us, or in other words: has there ever been a more exciting, or worrying, time to be governing a brand than right now?
