# 2026 Corporate Governance Trends to Watch

PwC reports that 35 percent of boards have already integrated AI into oversight activities, using it to digest board materials, benchmark against peers, and narrow the information asymmetry between directors and management. The piece also flags elevated CEO turnover as a wake-up call to strengthen succession planning as a standing agenda item. It offers SEA boards a concise map of the intersecting AI, succession, and execution priorities reshaping oversight.
