The Corporate Governance Institute launches the Diploma in AI Governance

The Corporate Governance Institute launches the Diploma in AI Governance to enable directors to address a paramount boardroom challenge

06/07/2026 – Dublin, Ireland

The Corporate Governance Institute (TCGI) has officially launched the globally recognised, boardroom-ready Diploma in AI Governance – a dedicated qualification designed for corporate leaders to govern AI with confidence and specialised expertise. 

The Diploma addresses what many directors consider the biggest boardroom concern of the 2020s: that AI will rapidly become a central focus in day-to-day business, and governing it properly is now a top priority. 

Delegates will learn across 10 carefully-constructed modules covering essential AI components, including AI literacy, risk, data governance, board oversight and compliance. 

With 30 hours of contact hours and additional study to achieve a globally-recognised qualification, delegates can rapidly upskill in this crucial area of modern corporate leadership, developing world-class skills to lead where it matters most. 

Anthony Quigley, Co-Founder of TCGI, said:

“Without a doubt, AI is the defining governance challenge of this decade. In just a few short years, it has become a history-making opportunity in businesses worldwide. 

However, with that opportunity comes significant risk if AI is not managed correctly. Good AI management starts at the top, which is why we’ve launched this new Diploma in AI Governance. 

Many directors encounter AI on their board agenda at nearly every meeting, but their methods for governing it are just a patchwork of disjointed, hastily assembled principles that will not provide structure in the long term. The Diploma will give that structure and, for the first time, will allow directors to feel in control. 

They’ll benefit from the Diploma by strengthening their own understanding of AI, being clear on its risks as well as its opportunities, and knowing what to ask during board meetings.” 

The Diploma launches with a pre-sale period in July 2026, and more details can be found at thecorporategovernanceinstitute.com.
