BIC 0004: AFRICAN BOARD TECHNOLOGY SUMMIT: CYBERSECURITY & AI AWARENESS FOR THE BOARD.
This summit is a high-level training event for African corporate directors and senior executives on the critical governance of emerging technology.
Core Objectives:
- Cybersecurity Oversight: Equip the board with non-technical awareness of the current and future African cyber threat landscape (e.g., ransomware, vendor risk) to effectively execute their fiduciary duty of cyber risk management.
- AI Governance: Provide clarity on the strategic risks (e.g., algorithmic bias, regulatory compliance, data leakage) and opportunities of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Generative AI, focusing on ethical and human-centric governance frameworks aligned with continental strategies (e.g., African Union AI Strategy).
The goal is to move the board from passive observers to active governors of technology, ensuring organizational resilience, compliance, and ethical innovation across Africa.
