June 16 Round Table
A confidential discussion for CFOs on AI governance, ROI, and responsible execution.
This round table is designed as a practical, peer-level conversation for finance leaders navigating the fast-moving realities of AI. We will explore how CFOs can evaluate AI investments, identify hidden costs, strengthen governance, and determine where AI can create measurable business outcomes rather than isolated experimentation.
Discussion Focus
We will use the session to explore:
- How CFOs should evaluate AI investments before costs and risks scale
- Where hidden costs typically appear in AI adoption
- What responsible AI governance looks like from a financial leadership perspective
- How finance leaders can pressure-test vendor claims, ROI assumptions, and execution readiness
- How AI can move from productivity tool to strategic thought partner for executive decision-making
- How CFOs should think about vendor obligations, contracting risk, and ownership of AI-related responsibilities
We will use Bird & Bird’s Contracting for Artificial Intelligence Systems as a reference point, not as required reading, to help ground the conversation in practical questions around vendor obligations, governance, risk ownership, and ROI.
