Session Description

AI for Directors: From Hype to Governance-Ready Use Cases

Wednesday, November 18, 2026

12:45 p.m. to 1:45 p.m.

AgVantis and its owner associations set out to modernize its core systems, and partway through, AI arrived inside the platform its board had already approved. A director from High Plains Farm Credit who lived the journey joins AgVantis and CGI to trace what the board decided, what it delegated, what it missed — and how it now sorts AI use by risk so management moves fast where it can and slowly where it must.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

• A clearer understanding of the board's role in AI oversight.
• A simple way to think about different levels of AI risk.
• Questions directors should be asking management about AI.
• A practical AI oversight guide they can take back to their association.
