We are delighted to announce the motion for this year's NED Debate: "This House believes AI will dramatically change corporate governance."
Few topics have generated more boardroom discussion in recent years than artificial intelligence — and for good reason. AI is already reshaping how organisations operate, process information, and manage risk. But the question of whether it will fundamentally transform corporate governance itself is a more complex and contested one.
Will AI change not just the tools available to boards, but the very structures, responsibilities, and principles that underpin good governance? Or is the pace and scale of that change being overstated? It is a question with no easy answers, and one that goes to the heart of what it means to be a NED in 2026 and beyond.
On Thursday 5 November 2026, that question will be put to the test. Now in its eleventh year, the NED Debate brings together some of the UK's leading governance voices at WTW's Auditorium in London for an evening of formal debate, open-floor participation, and real-time shifts in opinion. Our panel will be announced shortly.
