The INTELLECTIV Dinners

Where Visionary Leaders Converge

The Ethical Enterprise: Where Do CIOs & CISOs Draw the Line When AI Decisions Replace Human Ones?

Thursday, October 22, 2026 at 5:30 PM - 9:00 PM Central Time

Detroit, Michigan, USA 

Overview

The role of the CISO has undergone a profound transformation—from technical operator to boardroom strategist. Today, it may be entering its most complex phase yet, as regulatory pressure, public scrutiny, and personal accountability continue to rise.

In this executive-level panel, seasoned CISOs will share candid perspectives on how the role has evolved, what it truly means to operate as a business leader, and where responsibility now begins and ends. 

The discussion will explore how CISOs are navigating heightened expectations from boards, regulators, and the business, all whilst balancing innovation, risk, and resilience.

This conversation is less about fear and more about foresight. How CISOs can shape governance, influence enterprise decision-making, and protect both the organization and themselves in an era where security leadership is inseparable from accountability.

The Intellectiv Dinner series brings together a panel of dynamic executives who embody the intersection of intellect and initiative and are visionaries shaping industries and redefining leadership.
