Safety Leaders have made up their minds about AI. Two-thirds now use it every week in their own work, yet just 3% run it at scale in their safety processes. That gap between personal confidence and usage, and organisational reality is the story of 2026.

In this session, Duncan Davies, along with a guest speaker, unpack the findings of the Safety Leadership & AI Readiness Benchmark – the first study of its kind, drawn from over 100 senior Safety Leaders across the globe.
