About the Forum

A private room for the leaders deciding what enterprise AI becomes.

The Global AI Leadership Forum convenes Chief AI Officers, CIOs, CTOs and the senior executives accountable for AI strategy across six city chapters. Membership is by application and review. Sessions are held under the Chatham House Rule.

Our remit

Why a new forum, and why now.

Enterprise AI is moving from pilot to material P&L exposure inside the same eighteen-month window. The decisions this demands — on governance, sovereign infrastructure, model selection, regulatory readiness, board reporting — cannot reliably be taken in public, and cannot be taken alone.

The Forum exists for those decisions. It is a closed peer setting where the executives holding the mandate can compare notes, test thinking, and import lessons that would otherwise be lost to non-disclosure.

How we are governed

The Forum is administered by a small Secretariat and overseen by a Council drawn from among the founding membership. The Forum does not endorse vendors, does not run sponsored content, and does not disclose membership composition externally.

What we publish

Anonymised, independent, never sponsored.

Activities at launch include quarterly chapter roundtables, the annual AI Governance Readiness Index, a quarterly working paper, and member-only briefings on policy, regulation and operational topics that members request.

The Council

The Council is named once member institutions have confirmed participation. Until then, the Forum’s positions are issued in its name collectively.

The Secretariat

The Secretariat administers applications, runs the chapter calendars, and publishes the Forum’s quarterly output. The Secretariat does not speak for individual members and does not disclose membership composition externally.
