Many firms spent 2025 scrambling to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into all aspects of business, just as a second transformative technology, which allows for independent decision-making by an AI agent, was entering early adoption. With pressure building throughout the business environment to incorporate these new technologies, the humans responsible for corporate AI efforts should pause at the start of 2026 to reflect on how risks have evolved and continue to do so. The Hedge Fund Law Report asked a group of experts, including presenters at the AI Summit NYC conference in December 2025, what firms should resolve to do for their AI governance efforts in 2026. They recommended a baker’s dozen practical resolutions for organizations to develop greater trust in their AI use, advance responsible AI development, mitigate the technology’s array of risks and respond in a balanced way to the AI-related pressure building inside and outside organizations.
