This episode breaks down the governance landscape for AI in schools, specifically for the people sitting on school boards and trust boards who are ultimately accountable for how these tools are used.

Narinder Gill walks through the key questions boards should be asking, the risks they need to understand, and the governance structures that help rather than hinder responsible AI adoption.

The episode covers real examples of board-level AI policies, common governance gaps, and a step-by-step approach to building AI into existing risk registers and accountability frameworks.

Whether you are a chair of governors or a newly appointed trustee, this episode provides a clear starting point for getting AI governance right.
