What belongs on the board’s AI agenda?

Strategy and business value

Which applications support your business strategy? How should the board assess value, investment and priorities?

Accountability and oversight

Who decides, who delivers and what information does the board need? Responsibilities, reporting and escalation must work together.

Risk and governance

How does the organisation manage data, vendors, system failures and reputational risk? Which safeguards and controls fit the intended use?

Where does your organisation stand on AI?

Dreamleap’s AI Board Readiness Assessment offers a short self-assessment for board members and executive teams.

Understand the regulatory context.

AI decisions sit within existing leadership and due-care responsibilities. Whether the EU AI Act applies to a Swiss organisation depends on its role, EU market connections and the specific AI use. Existing Swiss laws, including data protection law, continue to apply while additional AI regulation is being developed.

Questions about the board programme.

Do I need technical AI expertise?

No. The programme focuses on governance, oversight and strategic decision-making. No programming knowledge is required.

When is the next programme?

We are planning the next programme for spring 2027. The exact date is being arranged. You can register your interest and vote for suitable dates.

Does registering interest book a place?

No. You are expressing interest and sharing your date preferences. Participation is application-only, so registering interest does not confirm a place. Confirmed event details will follow.

How is the programme delivered?

The existing programme can be delivered as a compact half-day or a more intensive full-day format. Details of the spring 2027 programme will be announced.

What certificate will I receive?

After taking part, you will receive a certificate of participation: Certified AI Board Executive.

How does it differ from a general AI course?

It centres on board responsibilities: strategic assessment, governance, risk oversight and informed decisions.

Is it suitable for SMEs?

Yes. The frameworks and scenarios also help smaller organisations make practical AI decisions and establish proportionate oversight.

Can we enquire about a programme for our company?

Yes. For questions about a company-specific format, contact talk@voicetechhub.com.
