Risk Management in the AI Era

Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping how organisations make decisions, govern risk, build capability and create value. As AI becomes increasingly embedded across business operations, the most important questions are no longer technological. They are questions of leadership.

How do organisations harness the opportunities presented by AI while preserving accountability, resilience and sound judgement? What responsibilities remain uniquely human when decision-making is increasingly augmented by intelligent systems? And how can leaders navigate the intersection of innovation, governance and trust?

The RMIA Risk Leader Tour 2026 is an executive dinner series bringing together key decision makers across the organisation including Chief Risk Officers and their C-suite, senior executives, board directors, regulators, academics and leading practitioners for an evening of strategic insight and peer-level discussion.

Anchored by the launch of RMIA and FTI Consulting’s Executive Insights Playbook, Risk Management in the AI Era, the series explores one defining question:

How prepared is your organisation for the opportunities and obligations in the AI era?

As artificial intelligence moves from experimentation to execution, organisations are entering a new phase of transformation. The challenge is no longer understanding the technology itself. The challenge is understanding its implications for governance, accountability, organisational capability and ultimately, the quality of decision-making.

Bringing together leading voices from law, academia, industry, technology and the risk profession, the Risk Leader Tour creates a forum for thoughtful discussion on the opportunities, obligations and unintended consequences emerging as AI becomes embedded within organisational life.

More than a networking event, the Risk Leader Tour is an exclusive leadership forum for executives seeking practical insight, meaningful connections and a broader perspective on the future of governance, risk and resilience.

In the AI era, competitive advantage may not come from access to technology. It may come from the capability to govern it wisely.
