Why we exist
The world boards and institutions are navigating today is faster, more interconnected and less predictable than before. Technological disruption, geopolitical realignment and systemic risk are converging, demanding stronger approaches, sharper tools and deeper capabilities from those who lead.
The decisions being made in boardrooms and institutions right now will shape organisations, markets and societies for decades. Getting governance right has never mattered more.
Our purpose
AIRIS brings together directors, investors, scholars and institutional leaders to work on the questions that matter most — and develop the thinking, tools and skills needed to govern well in an uncertain world.

The questions we explore

How should boards govern artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies?

What does strategic negotiation look like in an era of fragmentation and high stakes?

How should boards oversee the transition to long-term, sustainable value creation?

How can governance frameworks built for stable environments adapt to systemic complexity?

How do senior leaders make sound decisions when geopolitical, technological, environmental, and systemic risks converge?

What role should boards play in long-term stewardship across generations, stakeholders, and systems?
If you are working on these issues and would like to be in touch, we would be glad to hear from you
