Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer merely a technological matter entrusted solely to the IT function. Today, it affects decision-making processes, control structures, operating models, relationships with clients and counterparties, risk management, compliance, reputation, and even the way in which the board of directors exercises its role. It no longer concerns only those who develop technology: it concerns those who govern complex organizations, oversee regulated functions, respond to the market, protect stakeholders, sign policies, structure controls, and must make decisions that are explainable, robust, and sustainable over time.

The SUPSI Tax & Legal Competence Centre (CCTG) is offering an afternoon study session designed precisely to provide a reliable compass in a field that is often presented either as an indistinct promise of efficiency and innovation or as an overwhelming accumulation of rules, risks, and obligations. The objective, instead, is different: to provide participants with a solid yet accessible understanding of what truly matters today for those operating in the banking, insurance, or fiduciary sectors, in industry, pharmaceuticals, professional services and, more generally, in all companies where AI is ceasing to be a marginal topic and is becoming a matter of strategic direction.

But the workshop will not stop at the purely regulatory level. The focus of the reflection will be the transformation of the governance of information, decision-making, and the enterprise: what does it mean today to make an “informed” decision when information is filtered through complex models? To what extent is it possible to rely on AI without emptying human judgment of its substance? And what does a reinforced justification of decisions assisted by artificial intelligence imply in concrete terms?

The analysis will not be limited to illustrating rules and principles. It will focus on the questions that every organization should now begin to address seriously. Which decisions can be assisted by algorithmic systems and which, instead, require stronger human oversight?

How can AI governance be built so that it is efficient, proportionate, and sustainable at the same time? What reputational, regulatory, and litigation risks may arise from opaque models that are poorly supervised or poorly integrated into business processes? And above all: how can AI be transformed from a potential source of exposure into an orderly lever of competitive advantage?

The objective is to offer a high-level framework, but with implications that can be immediately understood in practice: how responsibilities are changing, which organizational safeguards are becoming essential, where the main areas of attention lie, and which choices can make the difference between a superficial adoption of AI and a true strategy of responsible integration.

This workshop is designed to help participants understand where the centre of gravity of corporate governance is shifting. It is intended for those who recognize that artificial intelligence is not a topic confined to technical experts, but a matter that directly affects corporate governance, compliance, market trust, and the quality of decisions themselves. And for those who want to approach this transition with vision, clarity, and awareness.
