# AI and Board Governance in 2026: Building Confidence Through Responsible Adoption

This guide notes that AI is now part of everyday board preparation, with one 2026 survey finding 82% of US public-company directors had used generative AI for board work in the prior six months, up from 66% a year earlier. It warns that adoption is outpacing the policies and controls protecting sensitive board information. Boards need safeguards to use AI responsibly, securely and accountably.
