About this webinar

As AI technology advances, deepfakes, cloned voices, and AI-generated identities are making reality increasingly contested, turning corporate trust into a core operational control. Organizations face unprecedented risks where fake signals spread at platform speed, creating rapid market reactions, reputation damage, and financial loss before facts can be fully verified. Directors can no longer passively rely on executive assurances; fiduciary duty now demands an active, evidence-based approach to governing synthetic media, testing controls, and maintaining organizational readiness.

This session examines the board's fiduciary role in navigating synthetic media threats and AI vulnerabilities. Participants will explore practical frameworks for identifying attack vectors, differentiating information disorders, establishing out-of-band verification protocols, and deploying crisis response playbooks. Directors and leaders will gain actionable insights on building a defensible governance architecture that protects enterprise value, ensures rapid evidence preservation, and demonstrates preparedness under pressure.

Key Topics Discussed:

Board fiduciary duty and duty of care in an era of contested reality
Synthetic media threats: Deepfakes, deep voice, and AI-generated identities
The compressed timeline from false signals to market capitalization impact
Information disorder taxonomy: Misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation
Vulnerability analysis across executive authority, evidence contamination, and narrative acceleration
AI dependency risks: Automation bias, skill atrophy, hallucination, and model opacity
Third-party, vendor, plug-in, and supply chain AI risks
Out-of-band verification protocols and identity proofing controls

Credit Information

Is this course eligible for my CPD requirements as a Canadian CPA?

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.

Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
