Session: AI Decisions Under Scrutiny: How Leaders Defend Value, Risk, and Responsibility Across Borders
Artificial intelligence is increasingly embedded in executive decision-making, from valuation and capital allocation to IP strategy, cybersecurity posture, and cross-border operations. Yet the consequences of AI-informed decisions rarely surface at the moment they are made. They surface later, during audits, disputes, transactions, regulatory review, or moments of transition.
This session examines how AI-driven decisions are evaluated under real-world scrutiny and why leadership today requires an integrated lens that connects technology, governance, legal structure, and accountability. Drawing on experience from tax enforcement, valuation-dependent matters, and global advisory work, the talk explores how assumptions embedded in AI-supported analysis interact with fiduciary duties, regulatory regimes, and decision authority.
Going beyond focusing on tools or implementation, this presentation reframes AI as a governance challenge: how leaders retain judgment, explain outcomes, and align decision-making across borders and institutions. Attendees will gain a practical way to think about AI not as a standalone capability, but as part of a larger system of responsibility that determines whether value is sustained over time.
