Corporate Partnerships

Shape the standards of AI governance from inside the boardroom.

Alpha Institute partners with the companies, insurers, and advisors defining how enterprises govern artificial intelligence. Our corporate partners work alongside our researchers, board directors, and Council members to advance the frameworks, ratings, and education that boards rely on to oversee AI.

Year-round partnerships connecting leading firms with the board directors and C-suite executives shaping AI governance.

Why partner with Alpha

AI is now a board-level responsibility. Directors are being asked to oversee systems they didn't build, sign disclosures they can't yet verify, and manage risks with no established playbook. Alpha exists to close that gap through research, ratings, and education grounded in how boards actually work.

Our corporate partners help us do three things:

Set the standards.

Contribute to the methodologies boards, insurers, and regulators are adopting for AI oversight.

Educate the market.

Bring rigorous, board-ready AI governance training to directors and executives across industries.

Convene the field.

Connect the practitioners, policymakers, and capital allocators shaping how AI is governed globally.
