Topic: Balancing Trust with Technology

AI is transforming business and the world of work. The speed of change is daunting and there are new AI models emerging literally daily. Accountants now face the challenge of not just adopting these tools, but learning how to think differently to us them well. However, we should not lose sight of the basics, the need for good data and measurement is more important than ever.

Technology will not bring success on its own, organisations must improve skills and develop flexible teams, supported by robust governance to ensure trust is not lost. Change and uncertainly lie ahead and yet we must continue to look to the future to help us navigate the present.

This session will cover: 

  • The AI Landscape: past and present
  • How did we get here and what are today’s most powerful tools
  • Application and Adoption
  • Mental models (AI thinking), the importance of data and measurement
  • Development, Governance and Trust
  • The skills leaders and teams need, frameworks for responsible oversight, such as an AI policy and the importance of embedding trust at every stage
  • Future Directions and Implications Looking ahead five years, where AI may advance and the potential impact on your organisation and the wider society.
