AI Has Changed the Risk Conversation. Boards Know It. CISOs Feel It.
FAIR Institute Breakfast Meeting during RSAC26
March 25, 2026  ·  The St. Regis San Francisco
7:00 AM - 10:00 AM (PT)
Artificial intelligence is no longer an emerging technology risk. It is a board-level decision accelerator with unclear exposure, shifting regulatory expectations, and real financial consequences. Yet CISOs are still expected to explain AI risk using tools, language, and assumptions built for a slower, more predictable world.

Join the FAIR Institute and Technical Advisor SAFE, for a candid executive breakfast discussion with senior leaders who sit at the board table, advise boards, invest in AI-driven companies, and are accountable for cyber risk outcomes. These leaders will share how AI has fundamentally changed how they evaluate risk, make decisions, and govern uncertainty and what they now need from CISOs to keep pace.

This is not a technical AI session. It is a decision-making conversation.

What you will takeaway from this session:
  • A clearer picture of how executives and boards interpret AI risk
  • Insight into what decision-makers actually need from security leaders
  • Practical guidance for evolving risk communication and reporting now
