AI is forcing a new leadership challenge inside the enterprise, in which boards are expected to oversee a fast-moving technology they do not manage day to day, while executives are tasked with deploying it responsibly at speed. In this episode, Byron Loflin, Global Head of Board Advisory at Nasdaq, and WWT AVP of Global Cyber Advocacy Kate Kuehn explore what that means for modern governance — from board-level AI literacy and trust between directors and management to error reporting, escalation paths and the growing need for stronger oversight as AI systems become more capable and more autonomous.

F5's Shawn Wormke and WWT's Chris Konrad say the rapid operationalization of AI is creating a widening gap between innovation and protection—leaving most organizations unprepared for real-world threats, governance failures and the coming quantum era.
