With the rise of agentic AI, implementing comprehensive governance is more important than ever.

A new Chief Executive Group – Long-Term Stock Exchange survey of CEOs and board members finds lots of AI excitement and investment, as well as worrisome gaps in governance, strategy and safety.

Boards are already moving toward more continuous, forward‑looking governance, but the next phase will demand bolder changes to agendas, data, tools and talent.

The shortage of AI-literate directors is pushing boards to look beyond conventional recruitment and start building a stronger future bench now.
