Episode 18 — Translate AI Risk for Executives: Clear Briefings Without Technical Fog (Domain 1)
Effective communication with executive leadership requires the ability to translate complex technical AI risks into clear business implications, a skill tested in Domain 1. This episode focuses on the art of executive briefing, emphasizing the need to avoid "technical fog" and focus on strategic outcomes like market share, regulatory fines, and brand reputation. For the AAIR exam, candidates must know how to summarize the results of a risk assessment into high-level takeaways that inform decision-making at the board level. We discuss the use of visual aids, such as heat maps and trend lines, to illustrate the current AI risk posture and the effectiveness of existing mitigations. A key best practice is to always accompany a risk finding with a clear recommendation for action, allowing leaders to fulfill their oversight responsibilities. By mastering this translation, risk professionals gain the executive support and resources needed to sustain a long-term AI governance program that protects the organization while enabling responsible innovation.
